Portrait of Catharina van Braam Houckgeest, c. 1790 Achterglas painting with portrait of Mrs. Catharina Cornelia Geertruida van Braam Houckgeest, born van Reede van Oudtshoorn. The portrait has the shape of a painted medallion that is stopped by an allegorical female figure (de Hoop). The hope is on a balustrade that partially hides behind a (probably) peach carpet. In the balustrade, a farewell scene has been sculpted in Relëf: two women dismiss a ship, including the text 'Vota Sequuntur Euntem', our good wishes accompany the one who leaves. The weapons of the spouses can be seen on the right
