Artist, Flemish, 1644 - 1708/1709

The image shows a portrait of a woman from the waist up. She is seated with a calm expression, featuring fair skin, a high forehead, and arched eyebrows. Her hair is in a curly updo with a decorative headpiece. She wears an ornate gown, a ruff around her neck, pearls across her chest, and a pendant necklace. In front of her, two cherubic figures sit on a pedestal with the label "ISABELL." One cherub holds a quill, and the other holds a tablet, with drapery and a decorative frame in the background. Another figure is partially obscured by shadow in the lower right corner.
