Portraits of Sir Thomas Gresham and Anne Fernely, Anthonis Mor, c. 1560 - c. 1565
Sir Thomas Gresham (1519–1579) was the leading English merchant in Antwerp and also the English king’s financial agent in the Low Countries. He and his wife, Anne Fernely, are expensively, yet soberly dressed. Their status is also evident in their choice of painter: Anthonis Mor was one of the pre-eminent portraitists of his day and court painter to the Spanish king

Two Salt Cellars, Johannes Lutma (1584-1669), 1639
These salt cellars showcase the artistic influences Johannes Lutma absorbed while in Rome in 1630. Already in Roman antiquity, children were a favourite motif in sculpture, new variants of which sculptors developed in Lutma’s time. Lutma, too, created his own version, incorporating it into his salt cellars. The figure of the child follows the classical idiom, skilfully combined with fanciful auricular ornaments adorning the pedestal and bowl.

A Couple, Maarten van Heemskerck, 1529
The woman is depicted as an industrious, virtuous housewife. The basket on the wall holds the yarn she has already spun. It has recently been suggested that the sitters are the Amsterdam draper Hubert Pietersz and his wife Trijn Jacobsdr, partly because the ledger on his table reads: ‘Betaelt Hubrecht [= Hubert] boucs.’ It is not clear why she occupies the side usually reserved for men. This important position was traditionally associated with purity and power.
