About the piece

Painted in 1762 by Philip Joseph Tassaert, this exquisite oil on panel portrait depicts Maria-Theresa Borrekens. The subject is rendered with soft skin tones and masterful attention to texture, from the delicate lace of her chemise to the shimmering gold-striped blue fabric of her mantle and fine pearl jewelry.
