Belgium / Netherlands: Portrait of a Young Woman, oil on oak, Petrus Christus (1425-1476), c. 1470

Petrus Christus (c. 1410/1420 – 1475/1476) was an Early Netherlandish painter active in Bruges from 1444, where, along with Hans Memling, he became the leading painter after the death of Jan van Eyck.

He was influenced by van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden and is noted for his innovations with linear perspective and a meticulous technique which seems derived from miniatures and manuscript illumination.

This painting is currently in the Gemaldegalerie, Berlin, Germany.
