"Portrait of Margaretha de Geer, Wife of Jacob Trip" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Nicolaes Maes, created circa 1660. The artwork is a testament to Maes' skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his sitters, which he honed under the tutelage of his mentor, Rembrandt van Rijn. The painting depicts Margaretha de Geer, the spouse of the wealthy Amsterdam merchant Jacob Trip, and is part of a pair with the portrait of her husband.

Margaretha de Geer, belonging to the influential De Geer family, was known for her philanthropy and her role in the cultural and economic life of the Dutch Republic. In this portrait, Maes presents her with an air of dignified elegance, reflective of her social status. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, demonstrates the influence of Rembrandt on his work. Maes' attention to detail is evident in the fine rendering of Margaretha's lace collar and the luxurious fabrics of her clothing, which signify her wealth and position.

The portrait is a fine example of Maes' mature style, showcasing his departure from the dramatic biblical and mythological scenes of his early career towards the more lucrative practice of portraiture. The painting is not only a representation of an individual but also an insight into the societal norms and values of the Dutch Golden Age, particularly in relation to the mercantile elite.

"Portrait of Margaretha de Geer, Wife of Jacob Trip" is held in high regard for its art historical significance and is studied for its contribution to the understanding of portraiture in the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it remains accessible to the public and continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest.
