Portrait of Susanna van Collen, c1626. Susanna van Collen (1606-37) wears the simple, loose garments, gaily-striped silk scarf from Asia, and uncovered hair (with pearls from the East Indies) of a wealthy lady posing as a shepherdess of antiquity. This portrait is one of a pair, probably made to commemorate Susanna's marriage in 1626 to Jan Pellicorne (1597-after 1653). Both were from wealthy merchant families.
