About the piece
Attributed to the Flemish master Cornelis de Vos, this mid-17th-century portrait depicts an orphan girl engaged in domestic work. The painting is a masterclass in period realism, highlighting the delicate textures of her lace collar and the structured folds of her white apron against a somber, grounding interior.
