Cornelis Troost's "Portrait of Maria Magdalena Stavenisse, Wife of Jacob de Witte of Elkerzee, Councilor of Zierikzee" is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch portraiture. Painted in 1726, the work depicts Maria Magdalena Stavenisse, a prominent figure in the Dutch Republic. The sitter is rendered with a dignified composure, her elegant attire and delicate features highlighting her social standing. The inclusion of the parrot, a symbol of intelligence and exoticism, further emphasizes the subject's refined tastes. The painting is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
