EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century portrait, titled "Portrait of Geertruyd Reael (1600-52)" by Huygh Pietersz. Voskuyl, showcases the elegant and intricately detailed attire of a Dutch woman of the time. Painted in 1640, the oil on panel work captures the essence of the Low Countries' rich cultural heritage and historic fashion. Geertruyd Reael, depicted in the portrait, wears a high-necked dress with a voluminous skirt, adorned with lace and embroidery. Her headdress, a grandiose creation, features a large, elaborate net-like collar known as a ruff, which was a popular fashion statement during the era. The ruff, made of starched linen or silk, is intricately pleated and framed by a lace border. Geertruyd's headdress also includes a head dress, which is decorated with pearls and other precious stones. The portrait, now a part of the extensive collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, provides a glimpse into the lives of the women of the Netherlands during the seventeenth century. The intricate details of the clothing, the subtle color palette, and the lifelike depiction of Geertruyd's face all contribute to the painting's historical significance and artistic value. Huygh Pietersz. Voskuyl, a Dutch painter, skillfully captures the essence of the period, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of the Dutch people during the seventeenth century. This portrait, a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Netherlands, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, providing a window into the past.
