Antwerp, 1544 - Antwerp, 1589
See author's fileThis work increases and enhances the Museum’s very small collection of portraits of the Flemish middle-classes. Key worked for various Spaniards in the Low Countries and this is a particularly good example of his abilities as a portraitist, the genre for which he was principally celebrated. Despite the limited, sober colour range, the subject is presented in a sincere, accessible manner.
