A Young Lady playing the Guitar (1669) “Oil on oak panel, 35.7 x 28.1 cm” [The Wallace Collection, London, England] — Caspar Netscher (Dutch; 1639 - 1684)
Initially renowned for his numerous genre scenes and history paintings, Netscher concentrated on portraiture from 1670, gaining considerable recognition.
Netscher’s masterly ability to convey textures is particularly evident here. The sitter is portrayed wearing fashionable 17th-century garments and the striking orange fabric of their clothes highly contrasts with the intricate pattern of the rug.
