Warsaw
picture in the manner of painting in the parts of the neck, the hands and the landscape,
with a more graphic, however, handing of the modelling (see: the files of the MNW).
Accoiding to A. Dobrzycka this portrait is close to some of Nason's works from the sixties,
especially to the Portrait of a Lady from the Perponcher family but also shows common
traits with some portraits by A. Hanneman and J. Mijtens2.

forms indicates rather a Jan de Baen or some other artist from his milieu. The colours, cold
with bluish shadows in compltxion, intensive in parts of the red gown and strikingly blue
in parts of the sky do not have much in common with Nason's colour rangę. The date staya
within the limits of the seventies of the 17th c.
