Portrait of Geertruyt, Margriet and Anna Delff, the Artist's Daughters (Portrait of three Little Girls in a Landscape) 1660

Jacob Willemsz. (II) Delff's "Portrait of Geertruyt, Margriet and Anna Delff, the Artist's Daughters (Portrait of three Little Girls in a Landscape)" from 1660 depicts the artist's three daughters in a pastoral setting. The girls are depicted in a relaxed pose, with a dog, a hawk, and a bow and arrow, suggesting a playful and lighthearted scene. The painting demonstrates Delff's skill in capturing the likeness of his children and his use of natural light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism. The presence of cherubs in the upper portion of the painting adds a touch of whimsy and underscores the familial theme.
