Zeeuwse Meisje

The regional costume consists of a lace headpiece, or kapje, often featuring ornate lace or metallic ornaments that frame her face ., minimal expression , her face often appears calm , reflecting a sense of stoicism or modesty associated with the culture .

in my first months in Holland when I started painting again I wanted to paint something close to the dutch heritage or culture and chose this significant portrait to paint .
