About the Item
Oil on oak panel
Image size: 18 x 17 inches (45.5 x 43.5 cm)
Period style frame
This painting is a half-length portrait of a lady in the guise of a shepherdess. She is holding a houlette (or a baton de berger), the traditional attribute of a shepherd or shepherdess.
She is depicted standing before a landscape that features another shepherd and a flock of sheep, however, there is little in her demeanour that suggests that she is actually concerned with the fate of these animals. Also, her dress, while elegant, is impractical and hardly appropriate for the rigours of country life.
The romantic fantasy of shepherds and shepherdesses living in the wilds of Arcadia in Greece was a favoured theme in ancient poetry and was revived from the 16th century onwards in Renaissance Italy and the Netherlands. The fascination with pastoral ideals stayed current among nobles and the elite at the Dutch court in The Hague in the 17th century. In art and literature there was a tendency to dwell on the innocence of the rustic way of life and shepherdesses often were seen as emblematic figures of complete virtue.

Portrait of Anna de Hooghe - Flemish art Old Master portrait oil painting
By Jacob Ferdinand Voet 1
Located in Hagley, England
This strong Flemish Old Master portrait oil painting is attributed to Ferdinand Voet. The sitter is Anna De Hooghe, the fourth wife of artist Ludolf Bakhuizen (1631-1708), a German-born Dutch painter, draughtsman, calligrapher and printmaker. He was the leading Dutch painter of maritime subjects after Willem van de Velde the Elder and Younger left for England in 1672. He also painted portraits of his family and circle of friends. Painted circa 1660 Anna is standing profile but turned to the viewer/artist with her hand to her heart. She is set in a landscape at twilight. A really lovely painting and superb example of Dutch art. It is recorded in the RKD archives with N Maes signature LL - since removed through restoration.
Provenance. The estate of George Way.
