EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, dating back to 1660, showcases the enigmatic beauty of Maria Quevellerius or possibly Maria Scipio. The subject's identity remains a mystery, as historical records have conflicting information regarding her name and marital status. Originally titled "Portrait of Elisabeth van Gaesbeek, Wife of Anthony van Riebeeck" this artwork has undergone numerous reinterpretations over time. The artist's skill is evident in every brushstroke; they have masterfully captured the sitter's delicate features and graceful demeanor. Maria Quevellerius or Maria Scipio exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that transcends time. Her eyes gaze into the distance with a hint of melancholy, leaving viewers intrigued by the thoughts hidden behind her serene expression. Displayed in a fine art museum or gallery setting like Arkheia, this portrait invites contemplation and sparks curiosity about its subject's life story. It serves as a testament to the power of artistic work in preserving history and evoking emotions across centuries. As we admire this exquisite piece from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us back to an era long gone. Whether she was Jan van Riebeeck's first wife or his second wife remains uncertain; nevertheless, this artwork immortalizes a woman whose allure continues to captivate audiences today.
