About the piece
Painted in 1635 by Hendrik Gerritsz Pot, this work is a masterful example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The composition focuses on the interplay of light and shadow across the subject's intricate white lace collar and the deep, heavy folds of her black gown, while a small lapdog at her feet adds a touch of domestic charm to the formal setting.
