17th-Century Dutch School Portrait Of A Lady

17th-Century Dutch School Portrait Of A LadyA fine 17th century portrait of an older lady wearing a plain white collar with lace edging, black bonnet and white cuffs. The identity of this formidable lady has been lost over time but her outfit aligns with the style of the mid 17th century. Her simple black dress with large plain white collar is similar to the outfit worn by the subject of this portrait by Bartholomeus van der Helst (1613 1670). Perhaps it also reminds us a little of the Lady
