Deborah Kip, Wife of Sir Balthasar Gerbier, and Her Children

Artists: Sir Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640), Jacob Jordaens (Flemish, 1593-1678)

Date: 1629-1630, reworked probably mid 1640s

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Description

Deborah Kip and four of her children are shown on a terrace elaborately appointed with entwined caryatids that support a bower, a setting that points to the family's elevated status. Their prosperity is also evident in Deborah Kip's elegantly embroidered skirt and lustrous blouse and cap. Perched on her chair is a blue-gray parrot, a symbol of aristocratic wealth and an allusion in Christian art to the Virgin Mary, the perfect mother. As she holds the baby on her lap, son George holds back a curtain; Elizabeth, dressed entirely in black, is serene and composed; and Susan rests her arms on her mother's knee and returns our gaze. Despite the elegant setting and the bravura brushwork, Rubens controlled the composition so that the tender relationship between the mother and her children remains the focus.

Rubens initially painted the family group at the core of the composition on a vertical rectangular central piece of canvas, to which he - perhaps while still in England - added strips on all four sides in preparation for the almost square final composition. When Rubens returned to Antwerp in April 1630, he took the still - unfinished family portrait with him. The painting, which remained in his possession, was probably completed by Jacob Jordaens after Rubens's death in 1640. An expanded copy from the Rubens workshop, one that Balthasar Gerbier almost certainly commissioned for his personal collection, is in the Royal Collection, Windsor Castle.
