Fallen Into Neglect
You cannot deny that “Portrait of a Young Woman” is a beautiful painting. It wasn’t, however, the best-kept painting from the 1600s. Completed in 1632, the portrait had been handled with less care than other more significant paintings. The Allentown Art Museum was also guilty of this neglect, having forgotten about it for around sixty years. Eventually, the abandoned artwork would come back to light as the New York University took it for a long overdue cleaning.
