'Isabella'

Simon Maris, c. 1906

In creating this portrait, Maris first took photographs of the young girl as reference material. Thanks to those pictures and other documents in Maris’ archive, we know the girl was about twelve years old when she posed for him. Maris made several portraits of her, some bearing the title Isabella, including this painting. This was possibly not her real name, as models commonly used aliases.
