Charles Le Brun (1619-1690) was a Dutch painter and personal artist in residence for King Louis XIV of France.

This painting combines the domestic intimacy and descriptive richness of Dutch and Flemish art, which the subject, Jabach, collected and admired, with the measured formal organization and allegorical allusions characteristic of French portraiture. Everhard Jabach, dressed in black, is seated in the company of his wife and their four children.

In this image, the artist has chosen to place himself in a mirrors reflection. Can you see him?
