🖼️ Portrait of a Young Girl · Petrus Christus

Monday, January 1, 1470 – December 31, 1470 All day

Portrait of a Young Girl is a small oil-on-oak panel painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus. It was completed towards the end of his life, between 1465 and 1470, and is held in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. It marks a major stylistic advance in contemporary portraiture; the girl is set in an airy, three-dimensional, realistic setting, and stares out at the viewer with a complicated expression that is reserved, yet intelligent and alert. Petrus Christus, 1470 — painted at 60. Oak panel and oil paint. 29 × 22.5 cm. In the Gemäldegalerie Berlin. Early Netherlandish painting. Wiki link
