Attributed to Frans Pourbus I
(Gouda 1523–1584 Bruges)
Portrait of a lady,
oil on panel, 45 x 32.5 cm, framed
The artist was the son of the painter Pieter Pourbus (1523/24–1584) and would have trained with him. He then went to Antwerp where he worked with Frans Floris. His religious pictures were commissioned by patrons outside Antwerp. After 1577 he seems to have specialized increasingly in portraiture, possibly because of sincere Calvinist belief. The present painting shares many similarities with other known works by Frans Pourbus I.
