Marie Cecile Thijs Dutch, b. 1964

The models in this series are portrayed ‘wearing’ an actual 17th-century antique ruff from the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. Since this collar is very delicate and rare, it was photographed by Marie Cecile Thijs – separately and under special conditions – at the Rijksmuseum, and was later digitally added to her models. Works in the White Collar series are included in the collections of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the Museum of Photographic Arts San Diego (MOPA) and the National Museum of History and Art in Luxembourg (Mnha). Works shown are a selection of currently available works. Please reach out to our team for more information about this serie or for additional works.
