About this work

Jonkvrouw Anna van Reenen married Jonkheer Gerlach van Reenen in Baarn on 16 May 1915. Her dress from the Hirsch department store has an interesting cut: the style of the front and back of the bodice differs. To create this effect, the silk inner bodice was covered at the front with multiple layers of tulle and lace. The train is bordered with a band with small lead discs in order to trail elegantly.
