Cleveland Museum of Art
A Genoese Lady with Her Child
Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, 1599–1641) · c. 1623–25
This portrait was a departure from the painting style popular at this time, focusing less on a demonstrative display of wealth and status and more on capturing the essence of the sitter. Although the clothing denotes affluence, this intimate interaction between mother and child transcends class boundaries.
