## Commentary

In the years immediately before Rembrandt settled in Amsterdam Nicolaes Eliasz. Pickenoy was the leading portrait specialist in the city with Thomas de Keyser as his most important but less productive rival. The portraits of an unidentified 56-year-old man and his perhaps somewhat younger wife belong to the first flowering of Pickenoy&#39;s career.
