Portret van Aletta Pancras c. 1670

"Portret van Aletta Pancras" is a watercolor portrait on paper created by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch around 1670. The painting features Aletta Pancras, a young woman dressed in a black velvet gown with white lace detailing, her blonde hair styled in a bun with loose curls. The work is a testament to ter Borch's skill in capturing subtle details, evident in the delicate rendering of the subject's features and the textural quality of the fabric. Today, the artwork is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering viewers a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch portraiture and fashion.
