About the piece
Painted in 1655 by Cornelius Janson van Ceulen the Younger, this oil on canvas exemplifies the elegance of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The artist masterfully contrasts the deep blacks of the sitter's garment with the intricate, luminous textures of her white lace collar and cuffs against a soft, atmospheric background.
