In Hals’ portrait, husband and wife hold each other’s hands, as befits honest spouses who have sworn to each other of eternal fidelity before the altar.
Next to them are their children – a boy and a girl. This is a traditional Dutch family, typical for 17th-century Europe. Children also look quite happy with life. Their faces are a little playful and good-natured. Only one character in the picture is thoughtful and sad – a black servant boy painted behind his masters.
