Mattheus Verheyden's "Portrait of Charlotte Beatrix Strick van Linschoten" (1755) depicts the subject in a formal pose, showcasing her elegant attire. The intricate floral patterns on her dress and the detailed depiction of her jewelry reflect the fashion of the period. The outdoor setting, with the glimpse of a garden and a house in the background, adds a touch of grandeur to the composition. This oil painting exemplifies Verheyden's skill in capturing the nuances of 18th-century portraiture, a period known for its emphasis on elegance and refinement.
Comments
Charlotte van Linschoten was the second wife of Gerard Cornelis van Riebeeck. She is shown here dressed in her finery. Her décolletage is visible above the plunging neckline of her dress, which is worn over a tight-fitting corset. Because silk fabrics were relatively narrow, her skirt is made up of several widths. It is obvious that the patterns to the left and right of the seam at lower centre do not match up.
