(Le Banquier et sa femme)
On the far side of a table covered with a green cloth and strewn
with various objects, which include a crystal cup and a circular
mirror, are seated the banker, wearing a dark blue robe edged with
fur, and his wife who is turning over the leaves of an illuminated
book of hours. At the back are shelves, on which are displayed
books and many decorative objects.
Painted in oil on panel.
Signed on a roll of paper in the background:—“QUENTIN MATSYS,
SCHILDER, 1514.”
