About the piece
Painted in 1880 by Piet Verhaert, this realist portrait depicts the artist's mother at the age of sixty. The work is characterized by its sophisticated use of light and texture, particularly in the delicate rendering of the lace bonnet and the expressive lines of the sitter's face, all set against a rich, atmospheric green ground.
