by Dirk Jacobsz 🇳🇱

About the artwork:
In the painting, van Oostsanen is likely shown at work in his studio, a setting that would be meticulously detailed, showcasing the tools of his trade—paints, brushes, and perhaps other implements used in the art-making process of the 16th century. His wife would be depicted as both the subject of his painting and a significant presence within this work, emphasizing her role both within his life and as a muse.
