Portrait of Anna van Gelder, third wife of Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter, Lieutenant-Admiral-General of the United Provinces. This portrait was purchased from a private Dutch collector in 2006. He had kindly brought it to the Museum's attention as the original pendant pair to BHC2996 of de Ruyter himself, which was presented to the Naval Gallery of Greenwich Hospital in 1870 by a Dutch donor, M. J. de Jonge, Baron van Ellemut. They are presumably a marriage pair, later split. The known provenance of this one only goes back to March 1909 when it was sold in Munich from the collection of Fritz Gerstel of that city. It was received unframed but put in a new Dutch-style one, made in the Museum to match that of its pendant.
