## Commentary

Stefanus holds out his hand to his wife Isabella Coymans, who, in a matching portrait which is not, unfortunately, in the same collection, offers him a rose in return. The man \(and the couple\) radiates warmth. His full figure, his smile and his rich clothing are executed with a jaunty, impressionistic stroke in black, white and gold.
