About the piece
Dated to 1650, this masterfully executed oil on copper portrait by Herman Doncker captures the dignified expression of an elderly woman. The stark contrast between the intricate white lace of her ruff and cap and her deep black attire creates a timeless, scholarly aesthetic characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age, making it a sophisticated addition to traditional interiors.
