Description: | Signed: yes Description: In this oval portrait a parallel can be drawn between the young sitter holding a rose and the sculpture in the garden in the background. This figure represents the Farnese Flora, which the painter probably copied after the print published by Jan de Bisschop in 1668. In this portrait Constantin Netscher did not turn to the conventions of child portraiture of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Instead, the pose, the costume and the hair-style of the pensive young girl replicate those of portraits of women. | Subjects: | portrait; buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Netscher, Constantin (Dutch painter, 1668-1723) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Netscher, Caspar (Dutch painter, 1639-1684) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9013... | Go to resource |
