About the piece
Painted in 1668 by Johannes Mytens, this regal portrait depicts Margaretha van Raephorst in a luminous red silk dress. The work showcases the artist's mastery in rendering luxurious textures, from the shimmering sheen of the fabric to the luster of the pearls being placed on her arm. Set against a dark, atmospheric landscape, the composition captures the formal elegance and social standing of 17th-century Dutch high society.
