Portrait of Elisabeth Tallyarde (1654-1689, 1679

Godfried Schalcken

Elisabeth Tallyarde was born and died in Dordrecht and married Matthijs Snouck in 1680. From the inventory of Matthijs Snouck's legacy of 1705, it appears that they lived in a colonnade near the Great Head at the Dordrecht harbor. The big house was full of portraits of ancestors and herself. Elisabeth is here in the antique "imagined" as a forest nymph from the stories of Ovidius.
