Portrait Maria Joachimsdr Swartenhont (1598-1631)

Pickenoy's use of chiaroscuro creates a striking contrast between the subject's illuminated face and hands and the dark background, drawing attention to her features and clothing. The detailed rendering of lace cuffs and the soft glow on her face demonstrate the artist's skill with texture and light.

The painting is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. Pickenoy, who may have been trained by Cornelis van der Voort, is also believed to have taught Bartholomeus van der Helst.
