About the piece
Dated 1630, this portrait by Bartholomeaus Sarburgh captures Belia Claesdr at sixty-three years of age. The painting is a masterclass in Dutch Golden Age technique, focusing on the meticulous rendering of her translucent lace cuffs and the complex, rhythmic folds of her elaborate millstone ruff against a somber, scholarly background.
