Double portrait of the etcher G. F. Schmidt and his wife

Pesne, Antoine (1683-1747)

This ambitious double portrait is a second version of the major work which was lost during World War II.  It clearly illustrates the international style of the artist with its mixture of his native French and Central European influences.
