Ovale doos waarin een vrouwenportret en dertien transparantjes beschilderd met verschillende kostuums c. 1642 - 1652

This 17th-century oval box, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a small portrait of a woman in a green dress. The box is designed to hold thirteen transparent slides, which were likely painted with different costumes and could be inserted and removed to change the woman's appearance. This innovative and playful object exemplifies the artistic trends of the period, offering a glimpse into the fashion and entertainment of the Dutch Golden Age.
