About the piece

Painted by Thomas de Keyser in 1629, this masterful group portrait captures three brothers from a Dutch merchant family. The children are dressed in elaborate period costumes with intricate lace collars, while the central infant adds a sense of innocence to the formal arrangement. The composition is unified by a sweeping red velvet curtain, a classic motif signifying status and providing a bold, theatrical backdrop.
