Description: | This small portrait of an unknown woman was probably painted by the celebrated Dutch artist Nicolaes Maes (1634-1693) in Amsterdam in about 1680. The ermine lining seen on the left sleeve of her black dress indicates she is a sitter of some importance. She leans on a stone pedestal in front of a landscape which may represent her property, suggesting the portrait was commissioned in relation to the sitter's marriage. | Subjects: | portrait; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Maes, Nicolaes (Dutch painter, 1634-1693) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8572... | Go to resource |
