About the piece
Painted in 1635 by Jacob Adriaensz Backer, this portrait is a superb example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The work captures a woman of status, with the artist focusing on the intricate details of her millstone ruff, translucent cap, and the rich fur lining of her gown, all set against a soft, atmospheric background.
