A Young Lady with a Plumed Headdress, 1633 (oil on panel)

A three quarter, left side, portrait of a lady in a red embroidered dress with puffed sleeves, tied with yellow ribbon, and a lace collar. She wears a plumed headdress, which is trimmed with pearls and which sits near the back of her head. A large pendant hangs around her neck with six black droplets hanging from the main section. A matching ring is tied to her collar with a piece of ribbon, while a ring is visible on the fourth finger of her left hand. Beaded bracelets adorn her wrist. She looks straight at the viewer, her face framed by her ringlets of dark hair. There is an oval painted frame with a dark background. Her age is documented in the top corner of the painting as '15'. This painting was probably made to celebrate the betrothal of her and her husband, who is represented in the accompanying painting entitled 'A Gentleman' which is executed in an identical style.
