About the piece
Painted in 1623 by Paulus Moreelse, this striking portrait depicts a young girl, traditionally known as 'The Little Princess,' in a sumptuous gown featuring an intricate lace whisk collar and strings of pearls. Her hand rests gently on a small spaniel, adding a touch of domestic warmth to the formal elegance and masterful textile rendering characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
