The hand behind it
Jan de Bray
Jan de Bray was one of the leading portrait painters of Haarlem in the generation after Frans Hals, with a clear, cool, smooth style. He is best known for portraits historiés, in which real people, often his own family, pose as figures from history, the Bible or myth, so that a Banquet of Cleopatra or an Adoration of the Magi doubles as a family portrait. Born in Haarlem around 1627, the son of the painter and architect Salomon de Bray, he spent most of his life there and was long dean of the painters’ guild. He painted group portraits for the city’s institutions and many private sitters, and his double portrait of the printer Abraham Casteleyn and his wife is in the Rijksmuseum. The plague of 1663 and 1664 killed his father and several of his siblings. He later moved to Amsterdam, where he died in 1697. Allegorical Family Portrait shows the portrait historié at its most personal.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
