This 19th-century oil on canvas faithfully reproduces Ferdinand Bol's celebrated portrait of Elisabeth Bas, the prosperous Amsterdam merchant and widow of Admiral Jochem Hendricksz. Swartenhondt.
Bol, a distinguished pupil of Rembrandt, masterfully rendered the subject's commanding presence through masterful chiaroscuro and meticulous attention to textile detail—the sumptuous fur trim, crisp linen ruff, and delicate lace cap all speak to her elevated station.
The copyist has preserved these refined qualities with considerable skill.
Presented in a substantial black lacquered frame (note: frame requires restoration).
