Caspar Netscher

Caspar Netscher was a Dutch painter of the Golden Age of Dutch painting, known for his portraits. Netscher chose subjects from the life of the Dutch elegant and wealthy class; he painted many small portraits - mostly of women; some of them historical. After spending some time in Paris, he painted several persons belonging to the court of Louis XIV. In addition to the above-mentioned usual subjects, he depicted sometimes historical and biblical scenes.

Caspar Netscher's paintings were kept in many art galleries: in the Louvre, Amsterdam, Florence, in several private collections in England and in many other places. In the Hermitage at the beginning of the 20th century there were six of his paintings, including a portrait of the artist himself and a portrait of Mary Stuart, painted in 1683; today only two works have survived.
