About the piece

Painted in 1655 by the Dutch master Gerard van Honthorst, this portrait captures a woman of status in a dignified seated pose. Dressed in the sober but luxurious fashion of the Dutch Golden Age, she is depicted with a wide white collar and a small lapdog at her side, resting on an oriental carpet. The work showcases Honthorst's characteristic skill in rendering light and fabric texture.
