About this work

A woman in a white dress and lace cap looks over her shoulder at you. Her face is calm, her hands folded in her lap. The background is dark, making her stand out. This painting was made in 1802, but we don’t know who painted it. It’s unusual because it shows Christina Sebilla Charlotte Bakhuizen, a real person, not a famous figure or a made-up scene. The details—like the lace on her cap—are painted carefully, almost like a photograph. To see more paintings like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
