What Mrs Gilly was really thinking when Mr Lely was painting

When looking at 17th century paintings of women I was struck by how formulaic they were, nothing about the woman herself - her character, her looks, more about how well they displayed the wealth of their husbands. I've tried to re-work these portraits using the colours I see when closing my eyes to the sun, shades of pure light, shimmering and resonant with the feelings of the woman they depict.
