About this work
This girl is all dressed up. Two large pearls adorn her ears, and a strand of pearls is wound around her neck. Luxuriant corkscrew curls frame her head and cascade onto her shoulders. Jan de Bray drew this small portrait in 1663, which was a highly productive year for this artist from Haarlem. He had become famous as a portraitist and landed one commission after another.
