"Portrait of a Lady, Half-Length, in a Black Dress with a White Collar and Black Scarf, a Pearl Necklace and Drop Earrings, Before a Red Curtain, in a Feigned Oval" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Nicolaes Maes. Created in the 17th century, this artwork exemplifies Maes' skill in portraiture, a genre in which he gained considerable acclaim after his initial training under the master Rembrandt van Rijn. The painting is distinguished by its meticulous attention to the textures and materials depicted, as well as its sensitive portrayal of the subject's character and status.

The portrait features an unidentified woman, captured from the waist up, set against a rich red curtain background that enhances the subject's visage and attire. Her elegant black dress, adorned with a stark white collar and a black scarf, creates a striking contrast that was typical of the fashion of the period. The inclusion of luxurious accessories, such as the pearl necklace and drop earrings, further emphasizes the sitter's wealth and social standing. The use of a feigned oval—a painted illusion of an oval frame around the subject—adds depth to the composition and was a popular device in Maes' work, echoing the tradition of oval-framed portraits.

Nicolaes Maes (1634–1693) was one of the most prolific and versatile Dutch artists of the 17th century. While he initially focused on biblical scenes and genre paintings, his later career was dominated by portraiture, in which he displayed a remarkable ability to capture the psychological depth and individuality of his sitters. "Portrait of a Lady, Half-Length, in a Black Dress with a White Collar and Black Scarf" is a testament to his mastery of the genre and remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Dutch portraiture. The painting is held in high regard for its art historical significance and provides insight into the cultural and societal norms of the Dutch Golden Age.
