Elisabeth Van Der Voorde 1667

"Elisabeth Van Der Voorde" is a 1667 oil painting by Ferdinand Bol, a Dutch painter known for his portraits and historical scenes. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features Elisabeth Van Der Voorde in a three-quarter-length portrait, seated with a somber expression. She is depicted in the fashion of the time, wearing a black dress with white lace cuffs and a wide collar, her hair pulled back with a black ribbon. Bol's meticulous attention to detail and realistic rendering of both subject and fabric are characteristic of his work, exemplifying the Golden Age of Dutch painting.
