About the piece

Attributed to Jan de Baen, this 1674 portrait depicts a woman, likely Alida van Berckel, in a setting of refined luxury. She is dressed in an ivory gown and a deep teal mantle, adorned with pearls that echo the droplets of the fountain beside her. The masterly rendering of textiles—from the heavy red drapery to the light catching the silk sleeves—creates a sense of depth and tactile richness typical of Dutch Golden Age portraiture.
