# Portrait of Margaretha Delff, Wife of Johan de la Faille [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VERKOLJE, Johannes I]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on copper, 30 x 41 cm ## Commentary In addition to highly finished genre scenes and mythological subjects, Johannes Verkolje painted equally accomplished portraits. Examples are the pendants on copper depicting Johan Bernardsz de la Faille \(1626-1713\), son of the accountant and financial adviser of the Prince of Orange, and his wife Margaretha Delff \(1647-1715\), one of the five daughters of the portrait painter Jacob Willemsz Delff the Younger \(1619-1661\). Verkolje's small-scale, full-length portraits continue the tradition first established in the 1640s by Gerard Terborch. The painting is signed and dated lower left: I. VERKOLIE / 1674. ## Related artworks - [An Elegant Couple with Musical Instruments in an Interior]() - [Dirck Evertsz van Bleyswijck at the Age of Thirty]() - [Elegant Company Making Music on a Terrace]() - [Elegant Company on a Terrace]() - [Portrait of Abraham van Bleyswijck Guilliaamszn]() - [Portrait of an Anatomist]() - [Portrait of Johan de la Faille]() - [Portrait of Johanna Anthonetta Blonk]() - [Portrait of Pieter van Asch]() - [The Messenger]() - [Two Children]() - [Venus and Adonis]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
