Description <p><strong>Phoebus Focus X</strong></p><p>A young woman stands before a dark grey wall and gazes at us with a restrained smile. Her delicately worked ruff and precious accessories catch our attention straight away, while also guiding our eyes towards the pale face of this lovely young woman with the compelling, almondshaped eyes, who rests her fingertips on a table covered with a green cloth. The panel is inscribed in the upper right corner ‘A .1613.’, referring to the year in which it was painted.</p><p>Who painted this engaging three-quarter likeness over four hundred years ago remains a mystery, as the seventeenth-century Antwerp master did not sign the work. The subject’s identity is not known either. Or rather not specifically: we can still discover a lot about her by carefully studying her outfit and accessories, as well as her pose and expression. In fact this mysterious beauty provides a surprisingly large amount of information about herself and the expectations that existed towards her at the time.
