About the piece
Attributed to the Dutch master Gerard ter Borch around 1660, this portrait exemplifies the elegance and psychological depth of Golden Age painting. The sitter is depicted with refined poise, her luminous skin and wide collar providing a striking contrast to the rich, dark tones of her gown and the surrounding space.
