oil on canvas, h 206cm × w 122cm More details

Strick van Linschoten had herself portrayed in a gown adorned with golden and brightly coloured flowers. Behind her is a country estate, probably Eemwijck, located opposite Essesteijn, before which her husband poses. Upon his death, she inherited both manors and commissioned the construction of a new farmhouse, with her initials on the gable. In this portrait, the family coat of arms on the balustrade make it clear who the patrons are.
