About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a black dress with a white lace collar and cuffs. She holds a feathered fan in her right hand, and a red flower adorns her waist. The background is dark, with subtle hints of texture. A delicate gold chain encircles her waist, adding a touch of elegance to her attire. The woman's gaze is direct, yet her expression remains enigmatic. This portrait invites us to explore the works of Paulus Moreelse.
