Caption

Anna Van Bergen, c1526-30. Anna van Bergen, dressed luxuriously in ermine and pearls, holds a folded piece of paper. This hints at her ability to read and write, a skill usually restricted to the aristocracy during the Renaissance. The sitter was married to Adolf of Burgundy, who was admiral of the Netherlands and one of Gossaert’s foremost patrons.
