About the piece
Painted in 1628 by Jan van Ravesteyn, this portrait of Maria Odilia Buys exemplifies the elegance and social prestige of the Dutch Golden Age. The artist demonstrates masterful technique in the rendering of the translucent lace ruff and the heavy gold thread of her bodice, all set against a characteristic dark, atmospheric background that brings the subject forward.
