About the piece

Attributed to Cornelis de Vos, this mid-17th-century portrait captures a woman of status in meticulous detail. Dressed in a somber black gown with exquisite gold embroidery and a stiff, multi-layered lace ruff, she sits with a dignified yet gentle expression. The artist's skill is evident in the luminous rendering of the skin and the intricate textures of the lace and silk.
