Protestant Zeelandic girl

This elegant costume is very distinctive with its very beautiful, large, stiffly starched hat. The "kissers" are large gold squares worn at the temples. The detail of the hat in olden days signified whether the person was of the Protestant or Catholic faith.

Out of the sky ,those eyes come through. There is a white paleness in her face, where roses, heavenly paradise is that place, glowing red lips from where all pleasant fruits do flow.This is an enchanting portrait of a beautiful woman,there is much a mood and feeling expressed,in her.
