Young Girl at the Keyboard

Cornelis Ploos van Amstel (editor) and Johannes Kornlein (printmaker), after Jan de Bray (formerly Gerrit Dou)

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a seated person looking slightly to their right, with facial features including a slightly open mouth and eyes looking outward. The person has light-colored hair styled back with a decorative headpiece tied in a bow at the back. They wear a high-collared dress with long sleeves and a mantle or shawl draped over their shoulders. The person is holding a book with musical notation, resting on a keyboard instrument, and a date "1660" is inscribed in the top right corner.
