Description
A woman framed by a window, a common motif in Dutch Golden Age painting. Stylistic similarities to confirmed Drost works suggest his hand.
Analysis
The window framing device creates a natural border while allowing for an intimate glimpse into the sitter's world. The handling of light and fabric shows strong parallels with Drost's confirmed portraits.
