Title
Portrait of Amalia van Solms, in a pink dress with a yellow sash, half-length, adorned with pearls and jewels
Description
English: Portrait of Amalia of Solms-Braunfels (1602-1675), wife of Frederick Henry of Orange-Nassau (1584-1647)

"Honthorst painted several half-length portraits of Amalia van Solms in the early 1630s, all of which share distinct compositional affinities.1 Perhaps the closest comparables are his portrait of her in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht (dated 1632)2 and his portrait of her as Esther in the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton (dated 1633)

We are grateful to Professor Depicted person: Wayne E. Franits – art historianWayne Franits for endorsing the attribution of the present lot on the basis of digital photographs." [1]
