EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of elegance and wealth during the Dutch Golden Age. Painted by Jacob Jordaens in 1635, "Portrait of Catharina Behaghel" showcases a woman seated gracefully in an opulent interior. Catharina Behaghel, the wife of Rogier Le Witer, Grand Almoner of Antwerp, is depicted wearing a sumptuous ruff collar adorned with delicate lace. Her attire exudes luxury as she dons pearls and a medallion around her neck. The intricate details on her clothing highlight the craftsmanship of this Baroque masterpiece. Seated against a backdrop of rich drapery and flanked by majestic pillars, Catharina emanates confidence and poise. She holds an exquisite fan in her hand, adding to her allure as she gazes directly at the viewer. Jordaens' skillful use of light brings out every nuance on Catharina's face while emphasizing the texture and depth of her surroundings. This painting serves as both a celebration of beauty and an emblematic representation of status within 17th-century Dutch society. Now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm. It offers us a glimpse into an era where wealth was displayed through lavish attire and impeccable taste—a testament to Jordaens' mastery as well as Catharina's position among Antwerp's elite class.
