About the piece
Painted in 1636 by Thomas de Keyser, this work depicts Frederick van Velthuysen and his wife Josina in a refined full-length composition. The couple stands on a tiled terrace flanked by classical columns and a stone statue, their somber black garments contrasting sharply with the intricate white lace work and the dramatic, cloud-filled sky above.
