This etching, created by Edme de Boulonois sometime between 1645 and 1681, depicts Theodore Gertrude de Kettler, Countess of the Holy Roman Empire. The portrait, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows de Kettler in an oval frame, dressed in a richly patterned gown. Her hair is styled with a cap, and a pearl necklace accents her elegant neckline. The artwork is a fine example of portraiture in the 17th century and offers a glimpse into the life and fashion of the time.
