About the piece
Created in 1678 by the Dutch master Nicolaes Maes, this portrait exemplifies the elegance of the late 17th century. The young woman is depicted with luminous skin, golden curls, and a refined gaze, set against a dark, atmospheric background within a classic feigned oval that enhances the painting's depth and focus.
