Portrait of the Poet Johannes Nomsz and His Wife, Hendrik Pothoven
In a canal house in Amsterdam Johannes Nomsz (1738 – 1803) the playwright, poet, and essayist along with his wife Anna Maria Telghorst (1734 – 1783) sit in a well-appointed room. Both exquisitely dressed in silk, satin and lace, this painting in all likelihood commemorates their recent marriage in 1771.
