About the piece

Painted in 1712 by Johan Starbus, this portrait captures Katarina Opalinski with regal poise and sophisticated detail. She is draped in a vibrant red mantle lined with spotted ermine, a traditional symbol of high status, while holding a delicate folding fan. The contrast between the brilliant fabrics and the dark, shadowed background highlights the luminous skin tones and masterful brushwork, making it a striking piece of Old World heritage.
