EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Maria Pietersdr de Leest (d. 1652), the wife of Samuel van Lansbergen, painted by the renowned Dutch artist Bartholomeus van der Helst in 1646. The image captures Maria in a formal, elegant attire typical of the Dutch Golden Age. Her black dress, adorned with intricate lace and a lappet, is a testament to the refined fashion sense of the time. The high neck ruff, a symbol of wealth and status, frames her face, drawing attention to her direct gaze. Maria's headdress, consisting of a netted veil and a large, ornate headpiece, adds to the grandeur of her appearance. The use of black colour in her clothing and headdress, which was popular during the seventeenth century, further emphasizes her sophistication and mourning for her deceased husband. The painting, executed in oil on panel, showcases Bartholomeus van der Helst's mastery of the medium. The meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the textures of the fabric and the intricate lacework, is a hallmark of his work. Maria Pietersdr de Leest's portrait is a significant addition to the Rijksmuseum's collection, providing a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the Dutch Golden Age. The painting's historical significance, coupled with the striking presence of its subject, makes it a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
