About the piece

Painted by Dutch Golden Age master Eglon van der Neer around 1677, this work showcases exceptional skill in rendering textures. The lustrous sheen of the woman's satin gown contrasts beautifully with the heavy, dark red velvet on the table, creating a luxurious and intimate atmosphere typical of high-end period portraiture.
