About the piece

Painted by the Flemish master Cornelis de Vos around 1609, this formal portrait captures the refined elegance of the early Baroque period. The sitter is depicted with remarkable detail, from the intricate lace of her cuffs to the luminous pearls at her wrists, all set against a deep, dark background that emphasizes her prominent white ruff and composed expression.
