Gerard Van Honthorst (1590-1656) - Profile Portrait Of Princess Amalia Solms Braunfels

- Oil on canvas.- Profile portrait of Princess Amalia of Solms Braunfels, circa 1625, celebrating her youth and beauty at her wedding to Prince Frederick Henry of Orange, Stadtholder of the Netherlands. In this oval-like effigy, the princess is perfectly recognizable by her flawless features and magnificent jewelry, including a baroque pearl that appears in contemporary portraits by Honthorst himself, a Rubens portrait by Wybrand de Geest, and a more recent portrait by Rembrandt. A promoter of the arts and, with her husband, responsible for the construction of Huis ten Bosch Palace, still the residence of the Dutch royal family, Amalia is one of the most fascinating women in 17th-century European politics.- Unframed image dimensions: 63 x 55 cm / 82 x 74 cm with a spectacular baroque frame.- From a private painting collection in Paris.
