EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century painting by the renowned Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens depicts a trio of portraits: Rogier Le Witer, Catharina Behaghel, and Magdalene de Cuyper. The artwork, created around 1635-1636, is now housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Holland. The central figure, Rogier Le Witer, is depicted as an elderly man with a distinguished air. He wears a black cap, a gorget, and a cloak adorned with a medallion. His hands are delicately folded, holding a handkerchief. The man's grave expression and the somber color palette of his attire suggest a sense of wisdom and maturity. To his left, Catharina Behaghel is portrayed as a graceful woman, her elegant attire consisting of a voluminous gown and a striking necklace. Her face is adorned with intricate makeup, and she holds a fan in her right hand. Her posture and the soft lighting of the scene emphasize her femininity and refinement. Magdalene de Cuyper, the youngest of the three, is depicted as a motherly figure, with a warm smile and a gentle expression. She is shown wearing a cloak, a cap, and a necklace with a large pendant. Her hands are holding a child, adding a sense of tenderness and nurturing to the painting. The interior of the scene is richly decorated, with a heavy curtain in the background and various ornate details, reflecting the grandeur and wealth of the subjects. The overall composition of the painting is a testament to Jordaens' mastery of the Baroque style, with its intricate details, bold colors, and dramatic lighting.
