About the piece

Dated 1640 and attributed to the circle of Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt, this portrait depicts Aegje Hasselaer in formal Dutch regalia. The painting is a masterclass in texture, specifically in the rendering of the fine needlepoint lace collar and the luminous pearls that adorn her dress, characteristic of the refined social status in the Netherlands during this period.
