Portrait of Oopjen Coppit (1611-1689) is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt, painted on the occasion of her marriage to Marten Soolmans in 1634. It is considered a pendant portrait, and portrait of her husband was included in the 2015 sale as part of a joint collaboration between the Louvre and the Rijksmuseum, purchased from the Rothschild family. The paintings were jointly sold for € 160 million.
This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1915, who wrote: "638 MACHTELD VAN DOORN (1605-1646), from 1629 the wife of Martin Daey. Sm. 551. ; Bode 304 ; Dut. 209 ; Wb. 317 ; B.-HdG. 108. Full length ; life size. About thirty. She walks to the left along a footpath paved with stones, and looks at the spectator. She holds up in her right hand, by a gold chain, a rich fan of black ostrich feathers ; with her left hand, as she descends a step, she lightly raises her handsome spotted gown of black silk with a high bodice, against which her broad and close-fitting lace collar and her lace-trimmed wristbands stand out in relief. At her waistband and on her shoe are rosettes of lace. Her fair curls are caught up at the back in a cap ; a thick black veil falls from it down her back. At her throat and on her arms are several strings of pearls, and there is a pearl in each ear. A gold ring hangs by a fine chain from her lace collar. In the right background is a bluish-green curtain. [Pendant to 637.]
