In addition to Italianate landscapes, Poelenburgh made also portraits, some in Italianate landscapes. A good example of this is the portrait of the children of Frederick, King of Bohemia.
The largest boy and girl are in the role of Meleagros and Atalante, respectively. The ruins in the background represent a motif characteristic of the artist's landscapes, while the hilly landscape on the right side shows the influence of Italian landscape painting.
There are several copies of this painting in different European museums.
