Description: | This lady's hairstyle (small curls on the side of the head, and no evident head-dress) indicate that she must have been portrayed in the seventeenth century, probably between 1625 and 1675. The fashion for small curls appears to have disappeared after this date. The thick pearl necklace is also a good indication, as many women from that time were portrayed with such jewellery. The colourful flowers add a touch of liveliness to an otherwise rather austere portrait, and are reminiscent of the numerous decorative flower pieces produced in the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8925... | Go to resource |
