Groepsportret van vier kunstenaars c. 1680

This 17th-century group portrait, painted by the Monogrammist GF, depicts four artists standing in an architectural setting. The figures are all dressed in fashionable attire of the period, their faces rendered with meticulous detail. The painting's composition is symmetrical and balanced, with the artist on the far right holding a drawing, possibly a self-portrait, in his hand. The inclusion of the drawing suggests an artistic fraternity and a celebration of the creative process. The work’s style and subject matter are indicative of the Dutch Golden Age, known for its mastery of portraiture and genre scenes. This group portrait is an excellent example of the Monogrammist GF’s talent in capturing the individuality and spirit of his subjects.
