ABOUT THE SITTER
 
JUSTINA VAN TEYLINGEN (1596- 1643)
 
 
She was married to Adriaen de Kies van Wiessen in 1613 when she was seventeen.
 
 
This large scale full length example is an unusual version which was first painted by Van de Voort to commemorate her marriage.
 
 
Justina is soberly but richly dressed in a lace cap trimmed with fashionable and expensive reticella lace, starched millstone ruff, embroidered stomacher, and long green over gown.
 
 
Clothes and accessories were of enormous importance. Often immense sums were spent on them, and sitters were justifiably proud and anxious to show them off.
 
 
Their clothes and accessories also carried strong social connotations.
 
 
Black was the high fashion of that era and this portrait rises to the challenge of painting black on black to depict the floral pattern of the vlieger overgown.
 
 
She wears a wedding ring on her left index finger. The type of diadem cap was worn by married woman and the vlieger (the loose fitting cape) was entirely reserved for married woman.
 
 
Studio versions were often made as gifts for relatives dating from the early to late 17th century.
