About the piece
Painted in 1625 by Dutch Master Frans Hals, this portrait depicts Aletta Hanemans at the age of 19. The work showcases Hals' incredible skill in rendering texture, from the crisp pleats of the millstone ruff to the delicate gold filigree of the stomach and the detailed lace of the cuffs and gloves. It is a quintessential example of 17th-century Dutch portraiture, emphasizing both the status and the character of the sitter.
