The Pearl Lady, most probably Elisabeth of Bohem, Princess Palatine. Oil on board signed Honthorst, dated 1644 Within a beautiful tortoise shell With a certificate by René Millet ( Well Known French Expert in Paris) The young unknown portrait shows the talent of the artist. We will appreciate the quality of glazed face, the light in the beads and the psychological analysis of the model. We almost read the character of the model. This type of face is found throughout the valley of the Rhin, Switzerland, the Netherlands. Our beauty is flirtatious and love beautiful pearls, symbol of fidelity. And so the large barocco pearl, the earrings, the necklace, the adornment in her hair; all attest of the prosperity. Gerrit Van Honthorst was born in 1590 and died 1656. His career is divided into two very different parts. In the first part of his life he is The “Night Master”, "Cavaragesque" painter, that the Italian nicknamed GUERARDO OF THE NOTTE. This period mainly Roman, which will influence LA TOUR and REMBRAND overshadowed the rest of his work. Indeed, it has been forgotten today; but when GUERARDO DE LA NOTTE returned to Utrecht, he became a fashionable portrait's painter. Radical changes without knowing the real reasons although it is often forgotten that a painter like everyone needs to survive ... Especially since the death of Van Dyck has opened the road to our artist who will rush into exploiting it. He is called to the court of Charles I, in London, where he will paint the king and the nobles of the court. In 1637, he moved to The Hague and become Van Dyck's official successor for the Netherlands and all Europe. Gerrit van Honthorst’s night paintings caused such a sensation in Rome that he was known as Gherardo delle Notti...
