"Catharina Both van der Eem" is a 1629 portrait painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals. The artwork depicts Catharina Both van der Eem, who was the wife of the wealthy cloth merchant and burgomaster Paulus van Beresteyn. This portrait is part of a pair, with its counterpart being the portrait of her husband, also painted by Hals in the same year. The paintings were likely commissioned to commemorate their marriage or another significant event in their lives.

In the portrait, Catharina is elegantly dressed in contemporary fashion, which includes a richly embroidered dress with lace collar and cuffs, and a millstone ruff—a style that was popular among the Dutch elite of the period. Her attire reflects her social status and the wealth of her family. Hals is renowned for his lively and spontaneous style of painting, and "Catharina Both van der Eem" is no exception. The portrait is characterized by Hals' loose brushwork, which gives a sense of immediacy and vitality to the subject.

The painting is notable for its psychological depth and the way it captures the sitter's personality. Catharina's expression is poised and confident, yet there is a hint of approachability in her demeanor, which is a testament to Hals' skill in portraiture. The background of the painting is typically muted, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on the subject.

"Catharina Both van der Eem" is part of the collection of the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands, where it remains on display. The painting is an important example of Hals' portraiture and contributes to the understanding of societal norms and fashions of the Dutch upper class in the 17th century. It is also a valuable piece for studying the evolution of Hals' artistic techniques and the broader context of Dutch portraiture during the Golden Age.
