About the piece
Painted in 1617 by Jan van Ravesteyn, this formal portrait captures Amélie Elisabeth of Hanau-Münzenberg in splendid court attire. The work is characterized by the artist's meticulous rendering of textures, from the delicate, geometric patterns of the lace ruff to the heavy, shimmering gold threads of the sitter's embroidered bodice and sleeves.
