About the piece
Painted in 1664 by Nicolaes de Helt Stockade, this grand family portrait captures a domestic scene of high social standing. The composition features the artist and his family surrounded by symbolic elements, including children engaged in drawing and a faithful dog, set against a background of dramatic blue drapery and a distant sunlit cathedral. It is a masterful example of 17th-century Dutch group portraiture.
