Getting started with the collection:
Portrait of Catharina van der Voort
Abraham van den Tempel (c. 1622–1672), oil on canvas, 1667
Catharina’s wealth radiates from this portrait. Van den Tempel positioned her before a balustrade, near a rosebush. Adorned with pearls and other costly jewels, she literally spreads her wealth before our eyes: the voluminous folds of her sumptuous gown extend across the full width of the painting, giving her an imposing air.
