Description: | Though Soest's name originates from Westphalia, he was probably Dutch by birth and training. He arrived in London in about 1640, and though made a good living through his portrait painting, never became accepted as one of the most fashionable portrait painters, and was never invited to paint at the court. The sitter in this portrait has not so far been identified. | Subjects: | portrait; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Soest, Gerard (Dutch painter in England, ca.1600-1681) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8422... | Go to resource |
