About the piece

Painted in 1639 by Dirck van Santvoort, this Dutch Golden Age portrait depicts young Elizabeth Spiegel. She is shown in a shimmering gold satin dress, wearing delicate pearls and holding a flute, reflecting the refinement and domestic culture of the era. The soft, luminous lighting on her face and the detailed rendering of her garments exemplify the artist's mastery of the genre.
