About the piece
Painted around 1665 by the Dutch master Gerard ter Borch, this portrait of Hermanna van der Cruis showcases the artist's celebrated ability to capture the tactile quality of luxury fabrics. The sitter's somber black attire is framed by the vibrant, fringed red velvet of a chair and table, creating a sophisticated and grounded composition typical of the Dutch Golden Age.
