About the piece
Painted in 1668 by Lambertus Jansz. de Hue, this portrait depicts Margaretha Munter, the second wife of Jacobus Trip. The work is a classic example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture, featuring a masterly contrast between the deep blacks of her gown, the luminous white of her silk sleeves, and the rich red of the background drapery. Her hand rests thoughtfully on a sphere, a symbolic element common in the period's intellectual portraiture.
