Antwerp 16th Century, A Member of the de Hondecoeter Family [obverse], 1543, oil on panel, Gift of Adolph Caspar Miller, 1953.3.3.a

A Member of the de Hondecoeter Family [obverse]

Antwerp 16th Century · 1543 · oil on panel ·  Accession ID  1953.3.3.a

Shown from the chest up, a young woman faces us holding a nude baby in her arms in this vertical painting. They both have pale, peachy skin with pink cheeks. The woman has an oval face with a thin nose, and her coral-pink, bow mouth is closed. She looks down and to our left with dark eyes under arched brows. Her hair is covered by a bone-white veil, and an azure-blue mantle is draped over her rose-pink robe, which is a darker pink at the shoulders. She cradles the plump child in her crossed arms. The baby has short, wavy, copper-red hair framing a round, flushed face with a button nose, peach lips, and hazel eyes that look at us. He holds a bird in his left hand, on our right. The bird has an off-white body with charcoal-gray wings and neck, and a strawberry-red face. The baby grasps one end of the woman’s veil with his other hand. The background is concrete gray to our left, and the right half is covered by a ginger-brown curtain.

Shown from the chest up, a pale-skinned woman wears a black tricorn hat and a black cloak that covers her shoulders, chest, and much of her face in this vertical portrait painting. Her body is angled to our left, and she looks at us from the corners of her dark, almond-shaped eyes. The jet-black hat is set back slightly on her head but covers most of her forehead. A loop goes around a black button on the side to our right, and the corner of a parchment-white decoration, presumably a bow, peeks up from the far side of the hat. Her pale face is like a moon, partially visible within the opening of the cloak that goes from her temples, down her cheeks, and covers her chin to just under her lower lip. The garment is gathered over her chin, and drapes down her chest. The fabric is painted black with green undertones. A glimpse of brown hair peeks out over her left temple, to our right. Her right, gloved hand, on our left, emerges from beneath the fabric to hold a closed fan by her chin. The glove is gossamer white. The sides of the fan's sticks are coral orange, and the fan is streaked with forest green and more orange against cream white across the top, where the fabric is accordioned. The space behind her is dark, pine green, a shade lighter than the woman’s dress.

Atop the shield is an ornate silver helmet adorned with decorative golden flourishes. Seated above the helmet is a white swan. A scroll bearing the phrase "TART SVIS VENV" twists behind the swan, while another scroll at the base of the painting reads "DE HONDECOVTRE" along with the date "1543." The rest of the painting features elaborate leaf motifs in golden yellow and dark gray on the black background.
