WITTE, Emanuel de
(b. 1617, Alkmaar, d. 1692, Amsterdam)

Portrait of a Family in an Interior (detail)

1678
Oil on canvas
Alte Pinakothek, Munich

De Witte is known mainly for his paintings of church interiors. He painted this unidentified family in a richly furnished interior and he placed one of his existing painting on the wall in the background. This painting, which has a curtain to shield it from light and dust, depicts the interior of the Old Church in Amsterdam.
