About the piece
Painted in 1849 by Jan Hendrik van de Laar, this refined portrait captures a woman in the traditional costume of the South Holland Islands. Seated in a plush crimson chair with a small dog resting at her feet, she wears the characteristic 'ear irons' and delicate lace headwear of her region. The work is a masterclass in mid-19th-century Dutch portraiture, emphasizing both the dignity of the sitter and the rich textures of her period dress.
