About the piece
Painted in 1639 by the Dutch Golden Age master Frans Hals, this portrait depicts Maritje Claesdr Vooght with remarkable psychological depth. The work showcases Hals' characteristic loose yet precise brushwork, particularly visible in the intricate folds of the white millstone ruff and the delicate lace cap, set against a rich, dark palette.
