Portrait of Alida Christina Assink — Jan Adam Kruseman

Jan Adam Kruseman. Painted 1833.

This portrait of Alida Assink presents her in her finest attire, depicted from head to toe. That is quite exceptional, as the painter Kruseman typically reserved such a full-length portrait exclusively for royalty. Assink was 23 years old when this likeness was commissioned by her guardian, a wealthy landowner. The rural setting with hunting dog and garden vase harks back to the English portrait style, which Kruseman admired.
