Nicolaes Maes's "Portrait of a Young Woman" (1665) is a striking example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. The painting showcases a young woman with a calm and composed expression, her gaze directly meeting the viewer's. The subtle details of her pearl necklace and decorative hairpiece highlight her refined elegance. Maes's mastery of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, bringing the sitter to life for the viewer. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
