About the piece
This 1621 portrait by Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt showcases the meticulous detail characteristic of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The sitter is depicted in formal attire, her high status signaled by the intricate millstone ruff, embroidered stomacher, and the delicate purse she holds against her dark gown.
