About the piece
Painted in 1912 by Willem Witsen, this formal portrait depicts Adèle van Meekren with a dignified and steady gaze. The work showcases masterful rendering of textures, from the luminous pearls and intricate jeweled brooch to the soft weight of her fur stole, all set against a rich, atmospheric dark background typical of the period.
