Portrait of Alida Christina Assink

Portrait of Alida Christina Assink Jan Adam Kruseman (1804-1862), oil on canvas, 1833

The Dutch saying ‘just act normal, that’s crazy enough’ did not apply to Alida Assink.

She had herself portrayed here in quite an elegant but un-Dutch setting with an English hound. Maybe to catch a rich man?
