About the piece

Painted in 1627 by Paulus Moreelse, this striking oil portrait captures a lady of status in the Dutch Golden Age. She is dressed in a sumptuously detailed black gown, offset by a magnificent standing lace collar and delicate cuffs, holding a vibrant ostrich feather fan that adds a touch of color to the formal composition.
