Portrait of a Woman Aged Sixty by Frans Hals

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/74-portrait-woman-aged-sixty

The strength and vitality of the people who helped establish the new Dutch Republic are nowhere better captured than in the work of Frans Hals, who was the preeminent portrait painter in Haarlem, the most important artistic center of Holland in the early part of the seventeenth century. This unidentified sitter—one of Hals’ most impressive portraits—was sixty years old when the painting was made, according to the artist’s inscription.

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/1221-emilia-di-spilimbergo

A pair of portraits of Emilia di Spilimbergo and her younger sister Irene was begun in about 1558, most likely in anticipation of their prospective marriages. The initial reason may have been to present two highly eligible, aristocratic young women to potential husbands, or the portraits may have been intended as permanent mementos for the sisters’ family after they were married.

Anthony van Dyck painted this portrait of an upper-class Antwerp woman around 1618, shortly after he registered as a master painter with the Antwerp Saint Luke’s Guild. At that time, Antwerp’s long-established portrait tradition emphasized a sitter’s virtuous character through restrained gestures and a direct gaze.
