About the piece

Painted around 1665 by Samuel van Hoogstraten, this work depicts a popular genre theme of the 'anemic' or lovesick lady. The composition showcases the artist's expertise in trompe-l'oeil and lighting, from the luminous satin of the woman's dress to the meticulously rendered domestic details, including a cat resting quietly at the lady's feet.
