Portrait of Eva Goudriaan-de Veer 1776

Cornelis van (II) Cuylenburgh's "Portrait of Eva Goudriaan-de Veer" (1776) showcases a woman in a blue dress and white lace, holding a book in her hand. Painted in a realistic style, the work depicts a woman of her time, highlighting the details of her dress and the book she holds, which could be interpreted as a symbol of knowledge and education. This oil-on-canvas painting, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable piece in the study of Dutch portraiture of the late 18th century.
