Jan Adam Kruseman was a Dutch painter of landscapes as well as historical and religious themes but is chiefly remembered as a portraitist adept at capturing the subtlest emotion of his subjects. Here Kruseman paid homage to a favorite genre, the classic Gilded Age portrait. This painting of Mrs. Assink is a testament to Kruseman's genius.
