Portrait of a Woman in a Leopard Cloak, Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen

The luxuriousness of this gentlewoman's cloak contrasts with the piety reflected in the rosary that she fingers. The paint surface is damaged, so the original texture of the fur is lost (collar of a kind of marten, maybe pine marten or sable; jacket probably a kind of wild cat). Vermeyen enjoyed the patronage of powerful people including archduchess margaret of austria, governor of the netherlands. His greatest commission was for a tapestry series recording emperor charles v's campaign against the turks in north africa (1535-36). Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: circa 1545 (Renaissance). Place of creation: Brussels, Belgium (?). Dimensions: height: 50.8 cm (20 in); width: 35.6 cm (14 in). Medium: oil on panel. Collection: Walters Art Museum.
