Mayr, a student of Rembrandt and Jacob Jordaens, worked for the courts at Vienna, Munich, Durlach, and Heidelberg. The present painting appears to have been painted in Vienna and probably shows a young noblewoman upon taking the veil. Ludwig Meyer's attribution is based on stylistic similarities between this painting and a self-portrait of the artist at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nürnberg.
