About the piece
This 1619 portrait by Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen showcases the artist's mastery of fine detail, particularly in the delicate lace of the ruff and the shimmering pattern of the red gown. Set within a painted trompe-l'oeil oval, the subject—traditionally identified as the Countess of Arundel—possesses a serene and dignified presence typical of early Stuart portraiture.
