About the piece
Painted by Godfried Schalcken in 1679, this portrait of his wife, Françoise van Diemen, showcases the artist's renown for rendering luminous light and delicate fabric. The dramatic contrast between the deep shadows and the lustrous surfaces of the pink and blue silk creates a sophisticated atmosphere, while a small architectural vista reveals a serene garden at twilight.
