About the piece
Created in 1633 by Hendrik Gerritsz Pot, this oil on panel portrait depicts Anna Hooftman with the dignified restraint of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is notable for its exceptional detail, particularly the intricate texture of the millstone collar and delicate lace cuffs, which contrast sharply against her deep black gown and the dark, marbled trompe-l'oeil oval surround.
