Dutch pictures of this type (tronies) often featured curious costumes and artistic effects, such as the fall of light on fine fabrics, soft skin, or a pearl earring. Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Jag frågade honom om han ville lära sig rida - varpå gossen svarade att han inte trodde att det skulle behövas! Hästarna skulle nog bära honom i alla fall. De var ju så goda vänner." Wiba log kanske, när hon skrev detdär. Men ibland var hon nog orolig för honom också.
