Portrait of Johanna van Heyst (1599- ) is a 1627 oil by Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting depicts a woman dressed in 17th-century attire, with a white ruffled collar and a dark dress adorned with gold accents. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a white head covering. The background of the painting is black, which helps to accentuate the subject's features. The woman's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it is a portrait from the early 17th century. The level of detail in the painting, particularly in the subject's clothing and jewelry, indicates a high level of skill on the part of the artist.
