Portrait of an Old Lady, possibly Elisabeth Jacobsdr Bas (1571-1649), Widow of Jochem Hendricksz Swartenhont — Attributed to Ferdinand Bol

Attributed to Ferdinand Bol. Painted c. 1640 - c. 1645.

This portrait may depict Elisabeth Bas. Like many seafarers’ wives, Bas managed the provisioning of the fleet of her husband, Admiral Jochem Swartenhondt. Together with him, she also ran a distinguished inn, which she continued on her own after his demise. This painting was long attributed to Rembrandt, but it was painted in his style by one of his pupils, Ferdinand Bol.
