About the piece

Painted in 1756 by Herman Frederik van Hengel, this oil on canvas portrait depicts Margaretha Leuveling in a luminous white gown. Draped in double strands of pearls and holding a branch of fruit, she is posed against a backdrop of deep red curtain and a soft pastoral landscape, reflecting the formal elegance and status markers of the mid-18th century.
