About the piece

Painted around 1800 by the Dutch artist Wybrand Hendriks, this double portrait depicts the artist himself alongside his wife, Agatha Ketel. The couple is shown at a table covered with the tools of their lives—books, spectacles, and writing materials—set against a deep, moody background punctuated by a rich red curtain that adds a touch of dramatic color to the composition.
