About the piece
This 1636 oil portrait by Jan Daemen Cool captures Liedewij van Diemen in the formal attire of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is defined by the sharp contrast between the sitter's dark gown and her luminous, intricately folded millstone ruff, set against a muted, atmospheric background.
