About the piece

Painted in 1652 by Ferdinand Bol, a prominent pupil of Rembrandt, this portrait captures a lady of status in an opulent pink gown and fur-trimmed cloak. The masterful use of chiaroscuro illuminates her features against a somber architectural background, highlighting the delicate lace, pearls, and jewelry that signify her wealth and social standing.
