About the piece
Painted in 1667 by Adriaen van de Velde, this work beautifully synthesizes the Dutch traditions of portraiture and landscape. The composition depicts an affluent family and their attendants on a dirt path, set against a vast countryside of rolling dunes and distant woodlands under a luminous, cloud-filled sky.
