Portret van Elisabeth Wilhelmina van Rechteren Almelo 1849

Johan Hendrik Hoffmeister's 1849 portrait of Elisabeth Wilhelmina, Countess of Rechteren Almelo, is a striking example of 19th-century portraiture. The sitter is depicted in a formal pose, her gaze directed towards the viewer, conveying a sense of both dignity and vulnerability. Hoffmeister's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate lace collar and the delicate folds of the Countess's dress. This portrait, measuring 490mm in height and 320mm in width, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Dutch aristocracy during this period.
