About the piece
Painted by Gerbrand van den Eeckhout in 1650, this work depicts a couple in the popular contemporary fashion of pastoral role-playing. As a talented pupil of Rembrandt, Eeckhout masterfully renders the rich textures of the blue silk dress and the warm red cloak against a moody, wooded backdrop.
