Early copy of Dutch painting. Oil on canvas in antique style wooden frame. "Elisabeth Bas (1571, in Kampen - 2 August 1649 in Amsterdam) was a figure in the Dutch Republic. She was the wife of Jochem Hendrickszoon Swartenhont, an admiral in the navy of the Dutch Republic and military hero.
The portrait is now in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, where it is known as Elisabeth Bas and attributed to Ferdinand Bol (1616-1680), though the identity of the sitter is held to be in doubt by the Rijksmuseum. Until 1911 it was thought to be by Rembrandt, but that year the Rembrandt expert Abraham Bredius re-attributed it to Bol. Such a re-attribution was hotly contested by the collector and art historian Cornelis Hofstede de Groot (1836-1930), but is now accepted. A brand of cigars was named after this painting in the 20th century, produced at a factory at Boxtel and using the painting as a logo and their bands and the boxes for cigars of this brand are still collectors' items".
