AELBERT CUYP (DORDRECHT 1620-DORDECHT 1691)
A Page with Two Horses
c.1655-60RCIN 405319
The nobleman in this aristocratic scene, accompanied by a groom and an elegant black page, may be a portrait, but his obscured position behind a horse makes this unlikely. The expanse of Cuyp’s imaginary background suggests the beginning of a long journey south.
Acquired by George IV in 1809
