Description: | Marcus Geeraerts the younger created a type of portrait which was successful both in his native Flanders and in England, where he worked most of his life. In this painting, the fashionable attire of the unknown sitter, shown three-quarter-length, facing front, slightly turned to left, suggests that she was portrayed in the 1590s, probably soon after Geeraerts settled in Britain. Her hair is pulled back over her head, which is framed by the elaborate white lace of the collar of her black embroidered dress. She wears a pearl necklace with a square pendant and golden chains, which she touches with her left hand while holding a fan in her right. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Geeraerts, Marcus, the younger (Flemish painter, 1561-1635, active in England) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9048... | Go to resource |
