About the piece

Painted in 1641 by Dutch master Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt, this formal portrait depicts Aletta Brasser with quiet dignity. The work is notable for its masterful rendering of textures, from the heavy dark fabric of her dress to the delicate, complex patterns of her lace collar and pearls, set against a muted atmospheric background.
