A half-length portrait of an unknown woman, likely of the Dutch burgher class. The painting is housed in the Szépmûvészeti Múzeum (Museum of Fine Arts) in Budapest.
Analysis
Listed by the Web Gallery of Art as a Drost work, this portrait's attribution status requires further scholarly evaluation. The handling of the sitter's costume and the warm palette are consistent with Drost's confirmed portraits, but the painting is not included in Bikker's monograph. Further research is needed to determine the strength of the attribution.
