About the piece

Painted in 1778 by Nicolaes Muys, this intimate portrait depicts his brother Robert Muys and his wife Maria Nozeman. The scene is ingeniously framed by a painted stone window, complete with a still life of grapes, peaches, and a melon resting on the sill, showcasing the artist's skill in both portraiture and decorative illusion.
