About this work

This is a portrait of a young woman in a dark dress with a white collar and cuffs. She holds a fan in one hand and looks straight at you. The back of the painting shows the family coat of arms and the number 8. That tiny detail tells us she was part of a big household—maybe the eighth child or the eighth portrait made of the family. If you like quiet, clear faces like this, look up more works at the Rijksmuseum.
