Portrait of Elizabeth Spiegel
Dirck Dircksz. Santvoort (Dutch, 1610/11–1680) · 1639
Amsterdam was a very important trade center when this portrait was painted in the mid-1600s. In this portrait, the girl wears an African ostrich feather in her hair and her skin appears to glow. Look closely at the way her small hands were treated and the naturalistic way they grip the musical instrument.
