EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 19th century oil painting captures Jeanette Antoinette Pietermaat (1818-1870), the wife of Pieter Mijer, who served as the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1867 until his death in 1870. The portrait, painted by renowned Dutch artist Jan Hendrik Neuman in 1876, shows Jeanette in deep mourning, dressed entirely in black. The somber color palette and the intricate details of her clothing reflect the societal expectations of the time for widows to wear mourning attire for an extended period. The high collar, long sleeves, and voluminous skirt are typical of the fashionable mourning dresses of the late 19th century in Europe. The painting is a poignant reminder of the role of women in Dutch colonial society during this era. Jeanette's dignified and solemn expression conveys a sense of strength and resilience in the face of loss. The portrait is a valuable addition to the heritage of Dutch and European art, showcasing the artistic skill of Jan Hendrik Neuman and the historical significance of the subjects he portrayed. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where it continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its rich history and intricate details.
