Portrait of Susanne de Vos, the Painter’s Third Daughter is a 1627 oil by Cornelis de Vos, a Flemish Baroque painting work, depicting Child, held at Städel Museum.
In the painting, a young girl with fair skin and hair sits in a high chair. She wears a white dress with green stripes on the sleeves, a white headband, and a gold cross necklace. Her hands rest on a tray attached to the high chair, where she holds a small object. The girl's attire and the high chair suggest a formal setting. The girl's expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed forward. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to focus attention on the girl. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Cornelis de Vos, a Flemish painter known for his portraits of children.
Cornelis de Vos (1584 - 9 May 1651) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and art dealer.
