About the piece
Attributed to Hendrick Martensz. Sorgh around 1660, this portrait captures a woman with a serene expression, dressed in the modest black and white attire typical of the Dutch Golden Age. She holds a piece of embroidery depicting a figure, suggesting a moment of quiet reflection or domestic pride. The warm, dark background emphasizes the crisp detail of her starched collar and the delicate rendering of her features.
