About the piece

Painted around 1621, this masterful double portrait by Anthony van Dyck depicts fellow artist Frans Snyders and his wife, Margaretha de Vos. The work showcases Van Dyck’s early prowess in capturing character through nuanced expressions and rich textures, from the intricate lace of the woman’s monumental ruff to the heavy, dark fabrics and golden embroidery of their attire.
