About the piece

Painted in 1668 by Ferdinand Bol, a prominent pupil of Rembrandt, this group portrait depicts the regentesses of Amsterdam’s leper hospital. The subjects are shown in formal black dresses with elaborate white lace collars, seated around a table draped in a richly patterned oriental carpet. The composition reflects the dignity and social responsibility of the women, rendered with Bol's characteristic soft light and technical precision.
