About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Hendrick Cornelisz. van Vliet, this portrait captures the dignified presence of a Dutch woman. The work showcases the period's hallmark precision, particularly in the delicate rendering of the intricate lace collar and cuffs against her somber black attire, set against a deep, atmospheric background.
