Nicolaes Eliasz Pickenoy's "Portrait of a Lady" from 1635 is a striking example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The subject, dressed in a richly patterned black gown with a lace collar and cuffs, holds a white handkerchief in her right hand. Pickenoy's signature style is evident in the woman's stoic expression and the meticulous detail of her attire. The artwork is currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, and showcases Pickenoy's mastery of oil painting.
