The hands of this man appear to be leaning on the picture frame, giving it the appearance of a windowsill – a trick that Sittow learned in Bruges from Hans Memling. Michel Sittow, Portrait of a Man, c. 1510

Alida Assink is presented here as a strikingly attractive young woman. She is also portrayed full-length, something Kruseman usually reserved for members of the royal family. Alida was not one of them, yet her guardian commissioned her portrait in this way. 👁️ https://id.rijksmuseum.nl/200412737

This is a commissioned portrait rather than the pictures of 'Bauern' (some of them probably rich farmers) that Leibl is well known for. The quality of the commissions is absolutely equal to the subjects pictures he chose to paint for himself. #WilhelmLeibl bsky.app/profile/oldp...
