A portrait of the Flemish baroque painter Peter Paulus Rubens (1577 - 1640), with his first wife, Isabella Brant. Originally published 1801, the print is after a painting now in Kenwood House. Despite the attribution here it is not certain whether the figures were painted by Rubens or Cornelis de Vos, although it was Frans Snyders who painted the hind slung over Rubens' shoulder, the game birds in the basket on his arm and the fruit in the basket on Isabella's head.
