About the piece

Painted in 1618, this masterpiece by Anthony van Dyck captures the dignity and refined fashion of the Flemish upper class. The sitter is depicted in a deep black gown contrasted by a brilliant white millstone ruff, with luminous skin tones and delicately rendered lace cuffs showcasing the artist's early mastery of texture and light.
