This portrait is a companion to Portrait of a Man (1956.16). Following a convention often found in companion portraits, Van der Voort portrays the man as active and the woman as passive. Another convention is the inclusion of the sitter's age; the man is fifty-five years old, the woman forty-seven.ProvenanceArthur de Hauvel Gallery, BrusselsOn View
