About the piece
Painted in 1645 by Johannes Cornelisz Verspronck, this portrait of Adriana Croes is a superb example of Dutch realism. The work is defined by the incredible detail in the sitter's lace ruff and cuffs, contrasted against the deep, rich tones of her black garment and the muted background, capturing the formal elegance of the period.
