Portret van Armgaert Elisabeth van Dordt van Roosendaal 1624

This is a portrait of Armgaert Elisabeth van Dordt van Roosendaal, etched by Magdalena van de Passe in 1624. The portrait, in an oval format, depicts a woman with her hair pulled back in a braid and adorned with a feather. The subject wears a lace collar and a pearl necklace and gazes directly at the viewer. She is surrounded by a decorative frame with her name and the date, as well as a coat of arms at the bottom. Van de Passe, a prominent Dutch etcher of the early 17th century, is known for her portraiture, which often depicted members of the nobility, as in this case.
