EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young woman from the Dutch Golden Age, elegantly poised with a feather fan in hand, ready to embark on an evening out. Painted by Frans van Mieris between 1657 and 1659, this oil on wood masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and textures. The subject of this painting is believed to be Van Mieris' wife, Cunera van der Cock. The delicate feathers of her fan mirror the gracefulness of her presence, while her attire reflects the fashion trends of the time. With a letter in hand and a map displayed prominently on the wall behind her, it seems she may be preparing for an adventure or perhaps bidding farewell to a loved one. The artist's skillful use of light creates depth and dimension within the composition. The warm glow illuminates both the sitter's face and her luxurious cloak draped over one shoulder. This intimate portrayal invites viewers into her world, evoking curiosity about her story and aspirations. Displayed at Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland, this artwork serves as a companion piece to Van Mieris' self-portrait. Together they offer insight into his personal life during this period. As we admire this exquisite painting captured beautifully in photographic form by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only artistic brilliance but also glimpse into the lives of individuals who shaped history during the Dutch Golden Age.
