Portrait of Magtilda Muilman

Frans van der Mijn (mentioned on object), c. 1745 - c. 1747

Wearing a satin skirt and jacket trimmed with ermine tails, Magtilda Muilman gazes out confidently at the viewer. While her husband, Jan Pranger, is portrayed in the adjacent painting in his study overlooking the Elmina slave fort, Muilman finds herself in a more domestic setting, probably in their home on Amsterdam’s Singel Canal. The picture cabinet in the background features a portrait, possibly of one of Muilman’s ancestors.
