Description

The sitter is thought to be Susanna Lunden, the daughter of the wealthy Antwerp silk merchant Daniel Fourment, and sister of Rubens's second wife H?l?ne. Susanna wears a marriage or betrothal ring, and the painting probably dates from shortly after her marriage to Arnold Lunden in 1622.
