The Moulins Triptych (detail) 1499

This is a detail from a triptych painted by Jean Hey, a Flemish painter active in the late 15th century. The detail shows a woman wearing a white veil, a yellow cap, and a burgundy dress with a broach. While the artwork's overall subject is unknown, this detail portrays a woman of status from the late 15th century, perhaps a donor for the triptych or a religious figure. This piece is an example of the Northern Renaissance style, marked by realism, intricate details, and attention to textile and facial expressions.
