Lot Essay

Edith Greindl date ce Portrait de dame dans les années 1621-1631, qui correspondent à l'apogée stylistique de Cornelis de Vos. Son art est alors caractérisé par l'aisance de la composition, la virtuosité de la technique, la variété du coloris et une facture que Greindl qualifie de 'déjà impressionniste'.
