Image description

Having been a widower for four years, Rubens married Helena Fourment (1614-73), the sixteen-year-old daughter of an Antwerp silk merchant, in December 1630. In this stunning drawing Rubens celebrates the beauty of his young wife as well as his own art. The monumental portrait presents Helena near life size in a splendid costume, however, it also allows an intimate encounter. She is shown lifting or catching her veil, which would have been suspended from the top of her striking headdress.
