Portrait of a Noble Lady
1618
Step into 1618 Amsterdam, where fashion was all about making a statement with starch and gold! Cornelis van der Voort captures a 26-year-old noblewoman looking incredibly chic in her massive, pleated white ruff collar and delicate lace cap. Her black dress is practically dripping with intricate gold floral embroidery, showing off her family's wealth without her even saying a word. If you look closely at the top right corner, the artist even left us a little historical clue, noting her age and the year alongside her family's coat of arms.
