Description
- Anthonie Palamedesz.
- Portrait of a gentleman and his wife, probably members of the Snoeck or Hasselaer families
- the former signed and dated lower left: 1668/AP(in ligature)alamedes;
the latter signed and dated centre left: 1668 AP(in ligature)alamedes pinxit - a pair, both oil on canvas
Provenance
In the possession of the family of the present owner since at least the 1850s, and possibly since its commission.
Catalogue Note
The male sitter is incorrectly identified by an inscription on the stretcher as Johan van Asch van Wijck. However, an old inventory dated 1886 suggests the sitters belong to either the Snoeck and Hasselaer families. This is more plausible, as members of both families are recorded as marrying an Asch van Wijck during the first half of the 19th century.
