Superb Pair of Huge Tudor-style Oil Portrait Paintings After Cornelis Van Der Voort

This is a magnificent and exceptionally large matching pair of mid-20th-century oil on canvas portrait paintings, believed to be after works by the celebrated Dutch portrait artist Cornelis van der Voort (1576–1624). These impressive full-length portraits depict the distinguished early 17th-century Dutch aristocratic couple Adriaen de Kies van Wiessen and Justina van Teylingen, both dressed in elaborate Jacobean-period attire. The gentleman stands confidently upon a chequered stone floor, wearing a richly embroidered dark green-black doublet, fashionable breeches, delicate lace cuffs and an imposing white pleated ruff collar. He holds a pair of gloves, with a finely detailed heraldic coat of arms appearing above. His female companion is equally splendid, wearing an exquisite dark green gown with elaborate gold embroidery, decorative chains, delicate lacework and a magnificent white ruff collar. A corresponding heraldic coat of arms appears in the background. Together, the paintings beautifully capture the grandeur, wealth and aristocratic elegance of early 17th-century European portraiture, with particularly attractive attention to the sitters' facial features, sumptuous costumes and intricate detailing. Both paintings are presented within matching black moulded frames with gilt inner detailing, creating a wonderfully imposing and harmonious pair. An exceptionally decorative and striking pair of portraits that would make a magnificent statement displayed together in a grand hallway, country house, period residence, library or traditional interior.
