About the piece

Painted in 1650 by Jacob Willemsz Delff the Younger, this grand group portrait depicts the children of the celebrated Dutch Admiral Maerten Harpertsz Tromp. The composition skillfully arranges the siblings around a classical stone fountain, incorporating symbols of their status including a hunting falcon, faithful hounds, and a bountiful basket of fruit, all rendered with the characteristic clarity and luminous detail of the Dutch Golden Age.
