"Portrait of a Lady holding her pet King Charles Spaniel" is a 17th-century painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Johannes Verkolje. As a notable work of portraiture from this period, the painting exemplifies Verkolje's skill in capturing the elegance and refined lifestyle of the Dutch upper class. The artwork features a woman, likely a member of the aristocracy or the wealthy bourgeoisie, depicted with a poised demeanor and dressed in the fashion of the time. She is shown affectionately holding her pet King Charles Spaniel, a breed that was popular among the European elite and often symbolized loyalty and companionship in portraiture.

Johannes Verkolje (1650–1693) was a prominent painter, etcher, and mezzotint artist from the city of Delft. His work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, the use of soft lighting, and a focus on the textures of fabrics and materials. "Portrait of a Lady holding her pet King Charles Spaniel" is a testament to Verkolje's ability to convey not only the physical likeness of his subjects but also a sense of their social status and personal interests.

The painting is notable for its rich color palette and the interplay of light and shadow, which create a sense of depth and volume. The lady's attire and the soft fur of the spaniel are rendered with particular care, demonstrating Verkolje's mastery of texture. The intimate scale of the portrait and the direct gaze of the subject engage the viewer, inviting contemplation of the sitter's personality and the cultural context of the era.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to the latter part of Verkolje's career. The artwork is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been studied by art historians interested in Dutch portraiture, the representation of animals in art, and the social history of the period.

"Portrait of a Lady holding her pet King Charles Spaniel" remains an important work for understanding the Dutch Golden Age's artistic achievements and the role of portraiture in documenting and conveying the nuances of social identity and personal relationships during this time.
