Portret van een vrouw 

This portrait, created by Dutch painter Thérèse Schwartze (1851-1918), captures the likeness of an unknown woman. The painting is notable for its loose and expressive brushstrokes, particularly evident in the background, which adds a sense of depth and movement. Schwartze was known for her portraits and her work was often characterized by its realism and emotional intensity. This piece, with its intimate focus on the subject’s face and hand, exemplifies her mastery of portraiture.
