About the piece
Painted in 1663 by Jan de Bray, this masterful portrait depicts the Haarlem printer Abraham Casteleyn and his wife Margarieta van Bancken. The couple is shown surrounded by symbols of their trade and intellectual pursuits, including a celestial globe, large volumes, and a bust of Laurens Janszoon Koster. The work captures a moment of poised domesticity and shared erudition typical of the Dutch Golden Age.
