About the piece
Painted in 1661 by Ferdinand Bol, a prominent student of Rembrandt, this masterful double portrait depicts Jan van der Voort and his sister Catharina. The composition elegantly blends formal portraiture with narrative genre elements, showing Catharina adorned with pearls and flowers while a servant holds an ornate mirror, all set against a lush, moody twilight landscape.
