About the piece
Painted in 1679 by Caspar Netscher, this portrait captures Cecilia de Jonge van Ellemeet with the refined grace characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. Netscher’s technical virtuosity is on full display in the meticulous rendering of the sitter’s lace-trimmed bodice and pearl jewelry, all framed within a classic feigned oval composition.
