About the piece
This 1683 portrait depicts Maria Barbara Peyer in a moment of quiet dignity. The work is defined by the extraordinary scale of her fur headpiece and the delicate rendering of her lace collar. A fascinating compositional choice splits the backdrop between a rugged, open-air landscape and a somber interior, reflecting the artist's skill in blending formal portraiture with naturalistic elements.
