by Gonzales Coques (b. 1614, Antwerpen, d. 1684, Antwerpen)
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.
