Portrait of Adriana Croes (1599-1656) — Johannes Verspronck

Johannes Verspronck. Painted 1644.

Adriana Croes had herself immortalized by Verspronck when she had been widowed for several years. She and her husband, the cloth merchant Hendrick Pietersz Strijp, had five daughters. Years later, one of them, Maria, and her husband, Eduard Wallis, were also portrayed by Verspronck; their likenesses hang nearby. Adriana’s face is so realistically painted that it seems to reflect all her joys and sorrows.
