Original Description
Painted around 1655, Nicolaes Maes' Portrait of a Girl, in a Green Dress, Holding a Rose exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age’s mastery of intimate portraiture. The young subject, rendered with soft warmth against a dark background, gazes thoughtfully at the viewer, her hand delicately cradling a pink rose—a symbol often associated with youth and fleeting beauty. Maes’ exceptional skill in capturing texture, from the fine embroidery of her green dress to the luminous skin tones, reflects his training under Rembrandt. While less dramatic than his mentor’s works, Maes’ composition balances quiet elegance with meticulous detail, bridging the transition from Baroque emotionality to Holland’s refined domestic realism. Though not as widely known as Vermeer’s interiors, this portrait remains a cherished example of 17th-century Dutch portraiture’s psychological depth and technical brilliance.
For a refined interior, this painting would enhance a study or formal living room where its muted tones and contemplative mood can shine. Position it against warm neutrals like taupe or charcoal to amplify the dress’s emerald hues, or pair it with brass-framed mirrors for Old World charm. At approximately 30 x 25 inches (typical of Maes’ half-length portraits), it suits spaces needing a focal point without overwhelming—above a console table or flanked by sconces works beautifully. Complement the rose’s blush with dusty pinks in textiles or fresh peonies nearby, while matte black frames echo the background’s depth. In corporate settings, it lends sophistication to executive offices, its subdued palette harmonizing with mahogany furniture and jewel-toned accents for a timeless aesthetic.
