About the piece
Painted in 1647 by Jacob van Loo, this striking portrait captures a lady of the Dutch Golden Age with dignified restraint. She is depicted wearing an iconic millstone ruff and a delicate white cap, her hands resting calmly amidst the rich, dark textures of her fur-lined gown, exemplifying the masterful chiaroscuro and detail of the period.
