Catalogue number: Bredius 89. This work belongs to a group of paintings all featuring the same model whose identity is not known. Notwithstanding the individual facial features of the model, the painting is probably not a portrait, but a tronie. Tronies are representations of particular character types, such as soldiers, orientals, old men or young women, which were often based on actual models, but did not serve o portrait function. |
