About the piece
Painted in 1625 by Salomon Mesdach, this striking portrait of Margarita Courten captures the dignified fashion of the Dutch Golden Age. The subject is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate geometry of her ruff and lace cuffs to the subtle sheen of her patterned black gown, all set against a deep, atmospheric background.
