Description

A joint research project by The Nivaagaard Collection and the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History has led to the reconstruction and reuniting of a seventeenth-century Flemish family portrait. The double portrait of a father and son, painted by Cornelis de Vos in 1626, seemed to be missing a part displaying a woman. Through art historical research, the portrait of the mother was found and reunited with the picture of her husband and son at the Danish museum.
