About the piece
Rendered by Nicolaes Maes around 1680, this portrait of Petronella Dunois captures the opulence of the era through the skillful depiction of light on silk. The sitter's vibrant orange shawl and deep blue gown provide a stunning color story against the dark, atmospheric background, making it a sophisticated addition to traditional interiors.
