About the piece
Attributed to Willem Wissing in 1687, this striking portrait is a classic example of late Baroque elegance. The subject is rendered with porcelain-like skin, which creates a luminous contrast against the deep sapphire of her gown and the bold crimson of her mantle. The moody, twilight landscape in the background adds a sense of depth and old-world gravitas.
