A portrait of Maria Hermina Heemskerk, wife of Menno David Graaf van Limburg Stirum, by Hendrik Willem Mesdag, painted in 1887. The work exemplifies Mesdag's skill in portraiture, capturing the sitter's likeness with a subdued palette and careful attention to detail.

This portrait by Hendrik Willem Mesdag depicts Maria Hermina Heemskerk (1827-1908), the wife of Menno David Graaf van Limburg Stirum. Mesdag, a Dutch painter known for his marine scenes and landscapes, also produced portraits of prominent figures within his social circle. This work, painted in 1887, showcases Mesdag's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitter. The composition is a traditional three-quarter view, with Maria Hermina positioned against a dark, subtly patterned background. She is dressed in a black gown with a delicate white lace collar and cap. Her hands, adorned with rings, are clasped in her lap. To the right of the subject is a coat of arms with an inscription above it. The subdued palette and careful attention to detail contribute to the portrait's sense of dignity and quiet composure. Mesdag's brushwork is evident in the rendering of the fabrics and the subtle modelling of the face, conveying a sense of realism and depth.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
