About the piece
Attributed to Nicolaes Maes or Johan de la Rocquette, this circa 1666 portrait depicts a young woman, possibly Barbara Veth, in a sophisticated grey gown with a vibrant teal wrap. She stands in a garden setting, reaching toward a fruit-laden orange tree, while a small spaniel gazes up at her. The work exemplifies the refined lighting and painterly texture characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
