PORTRAIT OF A GIRL DRESSED IN BLUE, between 1730 and 1740 Willem Verelst (active 1734/1752), English School. The ultramarine blue color of the dress was made from lapis lazuli, a mineral from Afghanistan and Peru. Its high cost made it a luxury only reserved for the wealthiest customers. This fact seems to point to the high origin of the young woman, accompanied by a parrot, a symbol of good manners.
