About the piece

Attributed to the Dutch Golden Age master Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt, this portrait captures a woman in the height of early 17th-century fashion. She is adorned with an extraordinary millstone ruff, delicate lace-trimmed cuffs, and a richly embroidered bodice, all rendered with sharp precision against a deep, moody background that emphasizes her dignified presence.
