A Musician and His Daughter

Thomas de Keyser Dutch 1629

"The father and daughter in this elegant interior display the wealth and confidence of the patrician class of seventeenth-century Amsterdam. They wear luxurious black clothing (the daughter is in the costume of a grown woman), and the father’s lute is both a costly foreign import and a mark of refinement. De Keyser excelled in the depiction of objects in perspective, such as the worn lute case and the classically ornamented doorway.

This painting was seized by the Nazis from Baron Karl Neuman (Charles Neuman de Végvár) in Paris and restituted to him by 1947."

Portrait of a Gentleman 1629 Oil on panel, 68 x 49 cm Private collection

KEYSER, Thomas de

Dutch painter (b. 1596/97, Amsterdam, d. 1667, Amsterdam)

It appears that the chest is filled with bundles of wool, therefore suggesting that the sitter, depicted full length and seated at a table, was associated with the wool trade.

Portrait of a Woman with a Balance 1625-26 Oil on wood, 23 x 17 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

KEYSER, Thomas de

This picture has a pendant, the Portrait of a Man with a Shell, also in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Two other versions of the portrait and its pendant are known. The compositions are reminiscent of Italian Renaissance and Early Netherlandish portraits.

The object of the woman's hand is a balance or scale, of a type usually used for weighing gold and silver coins. As in genre paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, such as Jan van Hemessen's Woman Weighing Gold, and Vermeer's Woman Holding a Balance, the balance symbolizes the virtue of temperance.

"Slight" reworking of the portrait of Copia that I did in July 2022, inspired by a Thomas de Keyser's painting.

I decided to polish a bit more and in the process I added a background.

Both suit colours cause I love the blue, but it clashes with the decor. :/
