Family Portrait
1650s
Oil on panel, 65,5 x 89,5 cm
Szépművészeti Múzeum, Budapest

The painting presumably shows Jacques van Eyck, the chief justice of Antwerp in the bosom of his family. They gather on the terrace of their palace. The painting is relatively small but is provided with some essential attributes of the representative Baroque portrait.
