EDITORS COMMENTS

The painting, attributed to Nicolaes Eliasz Pickenoy, showcases the intricate and elaborate fashion trends of the time. Margriet's headdress, consisting of a tall hat adorned with a net-like veil and a voluminous collar, known as a ruff, were popular accessories for women during this period. The richly colored and detailed clothing, with its intricate patterns and textures, further emphasizes the opulence and grandeur of the Dutch elite during this era.

The portrait of Margriet Benningh offers a glimpse into the daily life and fashion trends of the Dutch people during this time, providing valuable insights into the societal norms and values of the era.
