Portrait of a Woman

Niederländische Malerei 1660–1672, 1660s

The artwork is a portrait of a woman shown from the waist up. She is positioned slightly to the side, with her face turned towards the viewer. Her facial features are soft, with a light complexion and curly, auburn hair adorned with a pearl headpiece. She wears an off-the-shoulder gown with puffy sleeves, decorated with brooches and pearls. A green fabric is draped around her, which she holds with her hands. Her wrists are adorned with multiple strands of pearls. In the background, there is a detailed red curtain with tassels, and a landscape visible through a window, featuring trees and a building under a cloudy sky.
