Probably Mary, Princess of Orange 1656

Gerard van Honthorst's "Probably Mary, Princess of Orange" is a portrait painting of a young woman, likely Mary, Princess of Orange, executed in 1656. The artist, known for his tenebrism style, captures the sitter in a three-quarter length pose, her delicate features illuminated against a dark background. Her elegant gown, pearl jewelry, and the soft landscape behind her highlight her refined status. Honthorst, who died the same year he completed this work, showcases his masterful command of light and shadow in the painting.
