Voorname vrijage

Four elegantly dressed figures gather in a panelled interior before a tapestry. A man in a tall hat and orange-and-yellow doublet lounges on a bench beside a small grey dog, while a woman in a deep ruff sits facing him. Two standing figures in rose-red and grey silk, with large lace collars, watch the scene.
