Description: | Pickenoy, a celebrated portraitist in Amsterdam in the first part of the seventeenth century, portrays here a typical example of his work, which must come from the height of his career. Great attention to detail, a careful palette of soft and strong shadows, and rich textiles were Pickenoy's stylistic traits. In composition and rendering of details this painting resembles his portrait of Maria Swartenhont in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and Portrait of a Young Woman of 1632 in the Getty Museum, Los Angeles. They all share the same three-quarter pose of a distinguished young woman wearing a black dress (the dress in the Rijksmuseum work is very similar to this work) with a large pleated white collar, holding a pair of gloves in her left hand. | Subjects: | figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pickenoy, Nicolaes Eliasz.
