Abstract
During the early modern period, printed portraiture became increasingly crucial for shaping the public image of scholars. But what if your appearance didn’t fit the ideal image of a scholar, yet you still sought to be recognized in scholarly circles? This article examines the case of Maria de Wilde, daughter of the renowned Amsterdam collector of antiquities Jacob de Wilde, to reveal the strategies learned women and their advocates employed to navigate this challenge. By analyzing how her portraits were crafted and contributed to her perceived credibility within the learned community, I argue that these portraits could play a crucial role in women’s pursuit of acceptance in the male-dominated scholarly world of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. By blending women’s inherent femininity with their desired intellectual authority in a single visual representation, these portraits served as powerful tools in women’s ongoing quest for intellectual recognition.
