Abstract
A painting in a private English collection, hitherto unknown, is here identified as a portrait of Constantijn Huygens (1595–1657) and his wife, Susanna van Baerle (1599–1637). That no portrait of Susanna has been identified before is important since she played a prominent role in Huygens's poetry and was still movingly remembered by him after her untimely death. Documentary and stylistic arguments support the attribution of the painting to the famous architect Jacob van Campen (1595–1657), who executed a portrait drawing of one of Huygens's sons.
