Description: | This is a typical portrait of a Dutch lady, characterised by the absence of bold colour and a high degree of finish. The sitter is seen at three-quarter length against a brown background. She is wearing a black dress with white ruff, lace cuffs and a cap. According to an inscription (which may not be original), she is twenty-seven years old. She wears rings on both hands, which signal her married and social status. Her body is slightly turned to the left, which suggests that this portrait might have been painted as a pendant to a portrait of her husband. | Subjects: | portrait (Elizabeth Coreboult) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pickenoy, Nicolaes Eliasz.
