About the piece
Painted around 1630 by Flemish artist Cornelis de Vos, this dignified portrait showcases the artist's skill in capturing high-status textures. The subject is depicted in a somber but rich black dress lined with fur, contrasted by the sharp geometric precision of her white millstone ruff. The inclusion of her family coat of arms and the vibrant red curtain in the background adds a sense of aristocratic presence and historical weight.
