About the piece
Attributed to Flemish court painter Justus Sustermans, this formal portrait features Ferdinando de' Medici and his sister Anna Maria Luisa alongside their governess. The work exemplifies the opulence of the Baroque era, contrasting the intricate, shimmering embroidery of the children's garments with the somber black of the governess's mourning dress, all framed by a dramatic crimson drapery.
