Portrait of a Woman with a Dog, c. 1635. The unidentified sitter wears rich black fabric and a brown fur stole, a sheer white linen cap covers her head, an elaborate starched ruff rings her neck, her sleeves finish in punto in aria lace, and a prominent gold ring with a jewel appears on her right hand. The composition, weighted heavily to the right, implies a pendant portrait, yet to identified, probably depicting her husband

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Woman with a Dog, c. 1635" is an exquisite masterpiece created by the Dutch artist Hendrik Gerritsz. Pot. The unidentified woman in the painting exudes elegance and sophistication as she poses with her loyal canine companion. Dressed in opulent black fabric and adorned with a brown fur stole, this mysterious sitter epitomizes timeless beauty. Her head is gracefully covered by a sheer white linen cap, while an elaborate starched ruff adorns her neck, adding to her regal allure. Delicate lace cuffs known as punto in aria lace grace the ends of her sleeves, showcasing intricate craftsmanship. A striking gold ring embellished with a precious jewel catches our attention on her right hand, hinting at wealth and status. The composition of the portrait cleverly suggests that there may be another pendant portrait yet to be identified – possibly depicting her husband or loved one. Painted during the 17th century in Holland, this oil-on-wood artwork showcases Pot's remarkable talent for capturing both physical likeness and inner essence. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection today, this piece serves as a testament to heritage and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images' collection curated by Heritage Art/Heritage Images (not affiliated with any commercial use), we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and grace of Dutch society during the Golden Age.
