Jane, first Wife of John Tradescant the Younger is a 1630 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting features a woman dressed in a lavish attire, with a white collar and a patterned dress. Her dark hair is covered by a white headpiece, and she wears a brown necklace. The background of the painting is a solid brown color. The woman's clothing and hairstyle suggest that the painting is from the 17th century. The level of detail in the painting, particularly in the woman's attire, indicates that the artist was skilled in their craft.
