The image, attributed to the workshop of Rubens himself, showcases Helena's captivating features - her delicate, lacy collar framing her elegant neck, her expressive eyes, and her radiant complexion. Helena, born in Antwerp, was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. She married Rubens in 1609, and their union produced six children.

The portrait also offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the Flemish elite during the Baroque period. Helena's elegant attire, with its intricate lacework and rich fabrics, reflects the wealth and status of her family. The portrait's ornate gold frame further emphasizes the importance and value placed on such works of art during this time. Overall, this portrait of Helena Fourment offers a unique glimpse into the life and world of one of the most celebrated artists and his muse in European history. The image's timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers and serve as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
