Portrait of Helena Catharina de Witte (1661-95), wife of Iman mogge, lord of Haamstede

The portrait was painted in 1678 by Caspar Netscher, as recorded in the artist’s dated inscription on the work.

It entered the collection of Jacobus Salomon Hendrik van de Poll by 1839, when it was inventoried in his holdings. By the late nineteenth century, the painting had been transferred to the Rijksmuseum, where it has remained in the national collection since that time.

The painting is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It is currently owned by Jacobus Salomon Hendrik van de Poll, though it remains part of the museum's holdings. The work is cataloged as a portrait created by Caspar Netscher in 1678, executed in oil on canvas.

No specific inventory number, accession date, or exhibition history is provided in the available sources.

The painting is housed in the Rijksmuseum collection, formerly owned by Jacobus Salomon Hendrik van de Poll, and is classified as an oil portrait by Caspar Netscher created in 1678. It depicts Helena Catharina de Witte, wife of Iman mogge, lord of Haamstede, reflecting 17th-century Dutch portrait conventions and the artist's specialization in middle-class subjects. The work remains a key example for studying Netscher's technique within the Dutch Golden Age portrait tradition.

Caspar Netscher’s oil painting from 1690 depicts Helena Catharina de Witte, born in 1661 and deceased in 1695, as the spouse of Iman Mogge, lord of Haamstede. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum’s collection and presents the sitter seated in a modest interior, illuminated by a focused light source that isolates her figure from a darkened background.
