Basic Information
Historical Context
A signed child portrait by Cuyp from 1655, depicting a child in a golden dress with a floral crown, holding a white lamb with a green ribbon. The work bears the clear signature "A. Cuyp 1655," making it one of Cuyp's portraits with a firmly established date.
Artistic Appreciation
A jewel among Cuyp's portraits — the fine details of the golden dress and floral crown showcase his exceptional ability to render fabrics and ornaments. The white lamb and green ribbon add a fresh color contrast to the dominant gold, while the dark background makes the portrait subject supremely prominent. The confirmed date of 1655 provides a reliable anchor for positioning this work within Cuyp's chronology, and the lamb as a symbol of innocence lends the portrait deeper meaning.
