About the piece
This 1654 oil on panel by Petrus Schotanus à Sterringa exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's mastery of light and shadow. The sitter is captured with dignified realism, her weathered features and stiff white ruff collar standing in sharp relief against a deep, enigmatic background typical of the period.
