This 1851 lithograph by Johannes (I) Reekers is a portrait of Johanna de Smeth, a prominent figure in Dutch society. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts de Smeth seated in a chair, her hands clasped in her lap, and a calm expression on her face. The detailed rendering of her clothing, particularly the lace trim on her cap and shawl, highlights the artist's meticulous attention to detail. Reekers, a renowned artist of his time, employed a realistic style to capture de Smeth's likeness, offering viewers a glimpse into the life of a prominent Dutch woman of the 19th century.
