About this work

Woman from Antwerp, standing to the right, before a landscape. She wears a hood consisting of a small round cap with an upright peak and plume on the forehead, to which a spacious, finely pleated cape is attached here up to the elbows. Long curly hair falls to the shoulders. Two unadorned neckerchiefs over each other: a double-folded square one and one lying over the shoulders. Jacket with tight bodice, half-length open sleeves closed with a bow and a skirt turned back in the middle front and gathered to the waist. The under-sleeves and floor-length underskirt are provided with a curl motif. Unadorned turned-back cuffs. Gloves with wide decorated caps. Copy after 'Mulier Generosa Coloniensis'.
