About the piece

Painted in 1664 by Jan de Bray, this double portrait depicts the artist's parents, Salomon de Bray and Anna Westerbaen. The work showcases the masterful lighting and profile composition typical of the Haarlem school, with the figures rendered in somber black garments that emphasize the luminous, characterful details of their faces and hands.
