About the piece

Painted in 1646 by Abraham Lambertsz van den Tempel, this portrait captures the dignity of a woman dressed in high Dutch fashion. The work is defined by the masterfully rendered millstone ruff, which provides a brilliant white contrast against the deep, atmospheric background characteristic of the era.
