2. ‘A Lady and Gentleman in Black’ by Rembrandt van Rijn
c. 1633. This painting is probably Rembrandt's first double portrait (meaning two subjects). When the painting was x-rayed it was discovered that there used to be a child near the lady in the painting. But Rembrandt painted over them. It is believed that the child had died, and it was too painful for the couple to have them in the painting. The painting itself is quite large, about 4 feet by 3.5 feet wide.
