Portrait of Maria Clarissa, wife of Jan Voverius, with a child by Anthony Van Dyck

The portrait of a noble lady with her daughter in her arms. The high position of the woman is emphasized by the high corrugated collar. The girl’s collar is simple, but also under her chin. The dress of the girl is decorated with two red bows – on the top and on the chest. The outfits of both look quite strict. Only the background in the form of a red curtain and light brown wallpaper enlivens the portrait.

I want to note the face of a woman with thin, clearly written features and slightly pressed in the half-smile lips – which speaks of the strict, restrained nature of the woman. And my daughter is clearly like her mother – with the same dark eyes, thin, pursed lips.
