Description: | Signed: yes Description: Dated 1664, this portrait of a nineteen-year-old woman was made by Nicolaes Maes in the phase of his career when he concentrated on the lucrative field of portrait painting. The identity of the young lady is unknown, although her fine clothes and jewellery suggest that she was from a wealthy family, and her ringless finger indicates that she was not yet married. The motif of the fountain in the form of a dolphin appears in other portraits by Maes, including a similar reversed composition which the artist painted two years later. | Subjects: | young woman) portrait (girl | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Maes, Nicolaes (Dutch painter, 1634-1693) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8891... | Go to resource |
