About the piece
Painted around 1680 by the Dutch master Nicolaes Maes, this portrait captures a lady in a moment of elegant repose. She is draped in shimmering silks and a deep teal mantle, her pearls catching the light as she sits beside a woodland fountain. Maes, a pupil of Rembrandt, showcases his later, more fashionable style characterized by fluid brushwork and a sophisticated, moody palette.
