Note du spécialiste
Maria de Fraye, the granddaughter of the Middelburg merchant and humanist Johan Radermacher, married Willem Thielen (for whom see the previous lot).
Maria Thielen's costume combines Dutch and English elements, with a large ruff that is typically Dutch, but can also be seen in portraits of English gentry women at this date. While the blackwork parlet appears characteristically English, though slightly out of date, it can also be seen in 17th Century Dutch portraits.
We are grateful to Jan van Helmont for his assistance in researching this sitter, and to Susan North for her thoughts on the sitter's costume.
