About the piece
Painted in 1679 by Jan van Kessel the Younger, this masterful group portrait captures a noble family in an opulent garden setting. The composition is rich with status markers of the era, from the luxurious silken gowns and formal Spanish-influenced attire to the presence of well-bred hounds, exotic birds, and classical garden statuary under a sprawling grapevine.
