## Commentary

In this picture, two richly dressed figures, an amateur musician and his daughter of about ten years old, are set in a contemporary interior. It belongs to several small-scale full-length portraits that De Keyser painted in Amsterdam at around 1630. Other artists of the day painted similar portraits, a trend partly indebted to English court portraiture.
