EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking bust-length portrait, titled "Bust-Length Portrait of a Middle-Aged Woman" by Nicolaes Maes, dates back to the 1670s and is a prime example of Dutch Golden Age art. The woman, dressed in black, gazes directly at the viewer with an enigmatic expression. Her clothing, fashionable for the time, includes a high-necked, long-sleeved dress with a fitted bodice and voluminous skirt. Her hair is styled in an elaborate, intricately braided do, adorned with a pearl necklace and other jewelry. Maes, a prominent Dutch painter of the 17th century, expertly captures the woman's character and individuality in this oval-shaped oil painting on oak panel. The use of black as the dominant color adds depth and contrast to the artwork, while the woman's direct gaze invites the viewer to engage with her. This portrait is a testament to the fashion and art of the Low Countries during the Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in Europe. It is now part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire appreciation for the heritage of European art.
