Compared with the dynamic Portrait of a Man, this one of his wife makes a somewhat more formal impression. The pose is traditional, with the upper torso turned slightly to the left. She looks straight at the viewer, her lips slightly parted as though she is about to speak. Her face is rendered in much thinner paint than that of her husband, beautifully suggesting the greater softness of a woman’s skin.; Naast het dynamische mansportret maakt dat van zijn echtgenote een wat formelere indruk. De houding is traditioneel, het bovenlichaam iets naar links gewend. Ze kijkt ons recht aan, met licht geopende mond, alsof ze op het punt staat te gaan spreken. Het gezicht is in veel dunnere verf geschilderd dan dat van de man; zo wordt prachtig de zachtere vrouwenhuid gesuggereerd.
