EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegant and enigmatic Countess Ursula of Solms-Braunfels (1594-1657) in the prime of her youth, around the year 1630. The identity of the artist who brought this masterpiece to life remains a mystery, adding an intriguing layer to the painting's allure. Ursula, a member of the German nobility from the House of Hesse, is depicted standing proudly before an ornate, dark background. Her attire is a stunning representation of the Dutch and German fashion trends of the time. The countess wears a voluminous, embroidered gown in a rich, deep color, possibly a deep blue or dark red. The dress is adorned with intricate needlework and silver thread, reflecting the wealth and status of its wearer. A delicate, lace-edged neck ruff frames her face, adding a touch of refinement to her appearance. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, held in place by a silver band and adorned with pearls and other precious stones. The painting's uncertain origin and the enigmatic expression on Ursula's face only serve to heighten the intrigue surrounding this work of art. This portrait, now a cherished piece in the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the European aristocracy during the 17th century.
