EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Susanna van Collen nee Mogge and her daughter, 1776" by Hermanus Numan, transports us back to the elegant world of 18th-century Dutch aristocracy. The portrait depicts Susanna Cornelia Mogge, a widow soon to be married to the wealthy Amsterdam banker Hendrik Muilman. Seated beneath a partly covered portrait of her late husband Ferdinand van Collen, Susanna exudes grace and poise. Beside her stands her young daughter Johanna Ferdinanda, a symbol of hope and new beginnings. The artist skillfully captures their bond through delicate brushstrokes that highlight their refined features and intricate lace attire. Johanna's small hands are engaged in bobbin lace making while holding a basket filled with vibrant flowers. The composition is enriched with exquisite details such as a sewing box adorned with precious materials, reflecting Susanna's refined taste and wealth. A mirror reflects the opulent surroundings while an ornate clock marks the passage of time in this lavish salon. Through this painting, Numan immortalizes not only the beauty but also the social status of these women within Dutch society. It serves as both a celebration of love on the brink of marriage and an homage to Susanna's deceased husband. Displayed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam today, this masterpiece offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the lives of aristocrats during this period—a moment frozen in time where elegance meets tradition and aspirations for happiness intertwine with
