About the piece
Painted around 1635 by Jacob van Campen, this double portrait depicts the renowned Dutch diplomat Constantijn Huygens and his wife, Suzanna van Baerle. The composition is intimate and scholarly, with the couple shown holding sheet music, symbolizing their refined cultural life and domestic concord. Van Campen’s technique is masterfully displayed in the crisp, luminous lace of their collars against the rich, dark tones of their garments.
