About the piece
Painted in 1681 by Lambert Doomer, this formal group portrait depicts three regentesses of the Proveniershuis in Alkmaar. The composition captures the sitters with meticulous detail, highlighting the delicate textures of their lace collars and the symbols of their administrative duties—including a ledger and coins—against a deep, atmospheric background characteristic of the late Dutch Golden Age.
