Louise Christina (1606-69) was a sister of Amalia van Solms. Her parents were Johann Albrecht I von Solms-Braunfels, House Steward of the ‘Winter King’ Frederick V, and Agnes von Sayn-Wittgenstein. An engraving by Cornelis Visscher and Pieter Soutman of 1647 in the series Effigies variae nobilissimarum, published in 1650,8 confirms the identification of the sitter. The shapes of the bow and the diamond differ in the engraving and painting. According to Ekkart, the present portrait is a studio replica of a lost prototype.9 The workshop quality is most evident in the bow, which does not follow the shape of the sitter’s bosom. The prototype most likely also served as Visscher and Soutman’s model, and the present painting was probably executed not long after the engraving. Dendrochronology of the panel indicates that it was painted in or after c. 1650. Louise Christina was also portrayed by Honthorst as the huntress Diana.10 As Moes and Van Biema have shown, this painting may have belonged to a series which also included Portrait of an Officer (SK-A-176) and Portrait of Amalia van Solms (SK-A-573) by Honthorst and his studio, both in the Rijksmuseum.11 All three portraits presumably entered the collection of the Nationale Konst-Gallery in The Hague at the same time. Of the three, only the present one hung in the museum, according to Jan Gerard Waldorp’s floor plan.12 Waldorp received payment for his floor plan on 9 February 1801.13 This portrait, and probably those of Amalia van Solms and the officer, entered the collection prior to this date.
