About the piece
This 1645 oil on panel portrait showcases the refined attire of the Dutch Golden Age. The subject is depicted in a large, intricate millstone ruff and a modest white cap, set against a deep, atmospheric background that brings her luminous features into focus. An inscription in the upper right corner marks her age at the time of the painting.
