Portrait of Johanna Henriette Engelen, second Wife of Daniel Francis Schas

The painting employs chiaroscuro, where strong contrasts between light and dark create depth. Soft, glowing skin tones are juxtaposed with a dark, simple background, drawing attention to the subject's face and the intricate details of her dark purple dress, adorned with white embroidery and a gold ribbon.

Created in 1826, the portrait is now held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, ensuring the preservation of Johanna Henriette Engelen's likeness for posterity.
