Paulus Bor - The Enchantress

The Disillusioned Medea (aka The Enchantress) painted by Paulus Bor in Amersfoort, ca. 1640.

The moody young woman seated before an altar and a statue of the goddess Diana is an enchantress, as her magic wand indicates.

Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.

    I think she was using more than her magic wand to enchant.

    She doesn't look so much disillusioned as disenchanted.
