About the workIn this picture the Düsseldorf painter Johann Peter Hasenclever presents his young wife. In the style of 17th-century Dutch portraits, Caroline stands out against the dark, indeterminate background. The side lighting creates additional tension by emphasising one half of her face while the other disappears into semi-darkness. This was not a representative portrait for exhibition purposes, but a painting for private use. It was owned by the artist's and the sitter’s descendants until 2019.
