About the piece
Painted by Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen in 1639, this portrait captures the refined elegance of the Stuart era. The sitter is depicted in a striking blue silk dress with draped golden-brown fabric, complemented by a delicate pearl necklace and teardrop earrings, all set against a characteristic dark, atmospheric background.
