EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait, titled "Portrait of Maritge Claesdr Vooght," was painted by the renowned Dutch artist Frans Hals in 1639. Maritge, whose other known name was Maritge Olycan, was the wife of Pieter Jacobsz Olycan, who served as Burgomaster of Haarlem during the Dutch Golden Age. The portrait captures Maritge in her elegant seventeenth-century attire, which includes a high-necked, lace-trimmed dress, a voluminous black skirt, and an intricately designed headdress adorned with lace and pearls. The black color of her dress and headdress were popular choices for formal wear during this period, signifying wealth and status. The portrait is a prime example of the meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship that characterized Dutch art during the Golden Age. The portrait is an oil on canvas painting, measuring approximately 53.3 x 43.5 cm, and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Maritge's expression is serene and self-assured, reflecting her role as a respected and influential figure in Haarlem society. The portrait provides a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of great artistic, economic, and political significance in European history. The portrait's rich heritage is evident in the intricate details of Maritge's clothing, which includes a neck ruff, a fashionable accessory worn around the neck during this period. The portrait also showcases the use of netting and lace, which were popular elements of Dutch fashion during the seventeenth century. Overall, the "Portrait of Maritge Claesdr Vooght" is a testament to the artistic mastery of Frans Hals and the enduring legacy of Dutch art.
