About the piece
Dated 1628, this portrait by David Bailly captures Johanna Visscher with the refined precision characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition is centered on the masterful rendering of her elaborate lace millstone ruff and the subtle luster of her multi-strand pearl necklace, set against a deep, atmospheric background that emphasizes the sitter's dignified presence.
