EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Elisabeth van Oosten (1660-1714), the wife of Abraham van Riebeeck, in the late 17th century. The portrait, created around 1700, showcases Elisabeth's elegant and refined appearance, typical of the Dutch colonial society of the time. Dressed in an all-black ensemble, Elisabeth's high-necked, long-sleeved dress, with a fitted bodice and full skirt, is accessorized with a lace collar and a matching apron. Her intricately styled hair is pulled back and piled high, with a voluminous bun adorned with pearls and a delicate lace veil. Elisabeth's hand is delicately placed on her chest, gesturing a subtle yet confident pose, while her gaze is directed away from the viewer, adding an air of mystery and allure. The oval-shaped oil painting, with its rich, dark background, highlights Elisabeth's striking features and the intricacies of her clothing. As the wife of a prominent Dutch colonial figure, Elisabeth's portrait serves as a window into the fashion and societal norms of the Dutch East Indies during the 18th century. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a testament to the heritage and history of the Low Countries and European colonialism.
