About the piece
Painted around 1720 by Nehemiah Partridge, this portrait depicts Wyntje (Lavinia) Van Vechten with a refined, direct gaze. Clad in a rich red gown with delicate lace detailing, she holds a piece of fruit—a traditional symbol of abundance—while resting her arm on a stone ledge, set against a moody and atmospheric landscape.
