Cornelis van der Voort's "Portrait of Maria Overrijn van Schoterbosch" (1622) is a striking example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. Van der Voort was a prolific portraitist, known for his meticulous attention to detail and realistic depictions of his subjects. The painting showcases Maria in a simple yet elegant black dress, adorned with delicate lace and a pearl necklace. Her calm expression and composed posture project an air of refinement and respectability, characteristic of the era's social elite.
