Circle of Gerrit Van Honthorst 1590-1656- Portrait of a young woman, bust-length wearing a black dress and white lace collar, dark hair curled and natural, with pearl necklace, earnings and head piece; oil on canvas, held in a n English 18th century carved and gilded frame, the raised and pierced corners with acanthus flanked by oak leaf and flower head sprays, 70x59cm. Note: This work compares stylistically and compositionally to the formula Van Honthorst seems to have applied to his commissioned portraits, this work having undergone an early restoration and apparent removal of the feigned oval. Van Honthorst became known for nocturnal scenes, usually religious subjects, a single candle serving as the only light source and creating a striking dramatized scene. The chiaroscuro lighting effects were influenced by Caravaggio`s works. Honthorst`s night paintings caused such a sensation in Rome that he was known as "Gherardo delle Notti" (Gerard of the Night Scenes).
