"Portrait Presume De Madame Bejart" is an exquisite painting attributed to the Dutch Golden Age artist Nicolaes Maes. Born in 1634 in Dordrecht, Maes was a prominent pupil of Rembrandt van Rijn, and his works often reflect the influence of his master’s dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as his keen attention to detail and human emotion. This particular portrait is believed to depict Madame Béjart, though the exact identity of the sitter remains a subject of some speculation among art historians.

The painting is a testament to Maes' skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the textures of fabric and skin. The subject is portrayed with a serene and composed demeanor, her gaze directed slightly away from the viewer, which imbues the portrait with a sense of introspection and dignity. The use of light in the painting is particularly noteworthy; Maes employs a soft, diffused light that gently illuminates the sitter’s face and hands, creating a lifelike and three-dimensional effect. The background is kept deliberately simple, ensuring that the viewer's attention remains focused on the subject.

Maes' transition from genre scenes to portraiture in the latter part of his career is well exemplified in this work. His earlier works were characterized by domestic scenes imbued with moralistic themes, but as his career progressed, he increasingly turned to portraiture, where he could explore the individuality and character of his subjects. "Portrait Presume De Madame Bejart" is a fine example of this later period, showcasing his mature style and his ability to convey the personality and status of his sitters through subtle details and masterful technique.

The painting is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, offering insights into the fashion, aesthetics, and social norms of the 17th-century Dutch bourgeoisie. Today, it remains a valuable piece within the oeuvre of Nicolaes Maes, reflecting his contribution to the rich tapestry of Dutch Golden Age portraiture.
