Dubbelportret van Gijsbert Scharlaken Pieterszoon en Adriana van Slingelandt Possibly 1751 - 1753

This double portrait, created by Dutch artist Aert Schouman between 1751-1753, depicts Gijsbert Scharlaken Pieterszoon and Adriana van Slingelandt. Schouman was known for his portraits, particularly those of notable individuals. The figures are depicted in a formal setting, seated at a table with various objects suggesting their social standing and professions. The meticulous detail and realistic depiction of the sitters are characteristic of Schouman's style. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of a 18th-century Dutch couple.
