About the piece
Painted in 1663 by Nicolaes Maes, this portrait captures a woman of quiet dignity in characteristic Dutch attire. The brilliant white of her oversized collar and delicate cap provides a dramatic contrast against her dark garments and the deep, atmospheric background, showcasing the artist's skill with light and shadow.
