## Commentary

The painting showing a young woman in an Eastern costume drawing a curtain to one side, in a painted oval, is a tronie. Tronie is a genre in 17th-century Dutch and Flemish painting, representing single figures in historicizing, Oriental, or imaginary costumes that connote old age, piety, soldierly bravery, the Orient, transience, and so on\). Tronies were not meant to be portraits.
