This drawing, created by Abraham van den Tempel in the late 1660s, is a delicate portrayal of a seated woman and a standing man. The composition is typical of the Dutch Golden Age, showcasing realistic figures with intricate details. The artist's subtle use of black chalk highlights the folds of their clothing and the contours of their faces, giving a sense of depth and realism. The background features a black African figure and a dog, hinting at the diverse social dynamics of the time. The inclusion of a balustrade and a vase adds to the sense of grandeur and opulence, typical of aristocratic portraiture. This drawing, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a valuable glimpse into the artistry and social life of 17th-century Netherlands.
