The identity of the eminent lady portrayed in this painting is not known. The woman in the painting wears a prominent white ruff, which contrast with her black clothes, adorned with a golden chain and a conspicuous pendant. The white ruff is contour to the lady's fair skin. De Crayer probably completed this oeuvre in the 1620s.[2][1][4]
