De regenten van het Oudezijds Huiszittenhuis

In the doorway bread is handed out to the poor of Amsterdam. In the foreground we see the charitable governors who make this possible. On the left sits the painter Ferdinand Bol, whose advantageous marriage has brought him the same status as his clients. The second governor from the right is Casparus Commelin. He is the son of Isaac Commelin, who is likewise portrayed as a governor on the wall directly opposite.
