Description: | A book is open on the table next to the unknown sitter, who is soberly dressed in black according to the Dutch fashion of the middle decades of the seventeenth century. The lines of music written on the pages of the book probably correspond to church hymns. This portrait shows similarities with Ferdinand Bol's early works from the 1640s, in which his female subjects are depicted sitting and highlighted against neutral dark backgrounds, wearing the sort of fashionable large lace ruff and cap that can be seen in this image. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dutch School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9034... | Go to resource |
