About the piece

Painted around 1635, this masterwork by Anthony van Dyck captures the dignity and fashion of the Flemish aristocracy. The sitter is depicted in a voluminous black dress with an intricate millstone ruff, set against a dramatic backdrop of a crimson curtain and a classical pillar. The inclusion of a green parrot adds a touch of exotic luxury and personality to this refined composition.
