Portrait of Apollonia von Wiedebach, Cranach, Lucas, the Elder (1472-1553)Margaretha van Haexbergen (1614-1676). Artist: Gerard ter Borch the Younger (Dutch, Zwolle 1617-1681 Deventer). Dimensions: 32 x 26 in. (81.3 x 65.1 cm). Date: ca. 1666-67.Gerard ter Borch was one of the most compelling Dutch artists of the seventeenth century, recognized then as now for his handsome portraits and refined genre subjects. These splendid pendant portraits of Jan van Duren and his wife, Margaretha van Haexbergen (1975.1.141 and 1975.1.142), rank among the most important works by the artist in any American collection. Jan van Duren, a member of the elite ruling class of Deventer, poses in the rich attire of a prosperous regent, while his stately wife is no less suitably clad. Ter Borch presents his patrons in a setting devoid of detail: a simple velvet covered table and fringed velvet chair accompany the sitters. The restrained setting contrasts with and enhances Ter Borch's precisely painted subjects, dignified and ennobled by his sensitive brush. Museum: Metropolitan MusQueen Elizabeth I, c1580, (1910).

(111.8 x 88.9 cm). Date: 1632.This portrait is a pendant to the <i>Portrait of a Man</i> (29.100.3). If the man is Cornelis van Beresteyn, then the woman must be his second wife, Corvina van Hofdyck (1602-1667). Her pose, including the precise positions of the hands (one holding an ostrich fan), repeats that of her mother-in-law as depicted by Jacob Willemsz. Delff in 1592. Rembrandt's pair portraits appear to have conformed in design to a dynastic ensemble of portraits that originally hung in the Van Beresteyn family home in Delft.
