Portrait of Charlotte Beatrix Strick van Linschoten (b. 1732), second Wife of Gerard Cornelis van Riebeeck, presumably standing in front of her country House Eemwijck at Voorburg — Mattheus Verheyden

Mattheus Verheyden. Painted 1755.

Strick van Linschoten had herself portrayed in a gown adorned with golden and brightly coloured flowers. Behind her is a country estate, probably Eemwijck, located opposite Essesteijn, before which her husband poses. Upon his death, she inherited both manors and commissioned the construction of a new farmhouse, with her initials on the gable. In this portrait, the family coat of arms on the balustrade make it clear who the patrons are.
