I vote not pregnant/ There's a famous self-portrait of 'the artist and his wife' of the same time period, where the lower corset does the exact same thing, but after a trim waist. And can I find the thing? None of these are it, but here are pictures showing the style: "Sir Anthony Van Dyck -- Double Portrait of the Painter Frans Snyders and his Wife" and another where the bodice matches the skirts "Portrait of a Married Couple" and: "HALS, Frans Portrait of a Woman c. 1611" and: "RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel Portrait of Marchesa Brigida Spinola Doria 1606"
These were all found trawling the Web Gallery of Art, searching on text of portrait, with the dates 1601-1650, and medium of painting.
