Painting

The painting shows a fashionably dressed woman seated in a chair and holding her bridal stomacher with her left hand. This painting was documented by Ernst Wilhelm Moes in 1909 and Hofstede de Groot in 1910, who wrote "232. MARIA LARP (buried November 15, 1675), wife of Pieter Tjarck. M. 78. Half-length, in a painted oval. She faces three- quarters left and looks at the spectator. Her left hand is at her bosom ; the right hand is not shown. She wears a white cap, a ruff, a black dress embroidered with white at the bosom, and lace wristbands. The colour of the face is very life-like. [Pendant to 231.] Panel, 30 inches by 27 inches. See Moes, Iconographia Batava, No. 4378. Exhibited at Brussels, 1882. Sale. Comte d'Oultremont, Brussels, June 27, 1889 (Arnold and Tripp). In the possession of the Paris dealers Arnold and Tripp. In the collection of W. C. Alexander, London."[1]

This portrait has a pendant painting, depicting her husband Pieter Tjarck, which today is in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art at Los Angeles:

gollark: They should probably just not have network access, except for a wired connection to upload maps and such. Unfortunately, someone will definitely do something stupid like... have a 4G connection in it for interweb browsing, make the entire thing run some accursed Android derivative and put the self-driving code on there too, and expose that to the user, and make it wildly insecure.
gollark: I'm sure someone will manage to entirely mess up the security, yes.
gollark: (Just kidding! There's no way car OSes will be (are, probably) non-locked-down enough to do that!)
gollark: It's only a patent so far. But they had *better* not make it necessary to install adblockers on your car or something.
gollark: This makes sense, because social shame things are always right.
