About the piece
Painted by Paulus Hennekyn in the mid-17th century, this portrait captures Anna van der Does in the formal regalia of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition is defined by the extraordinary white millstone ruff and delicate lace cap, which create a sharp graphic contrast against her dark bodice and the muted, atmospheric background.
