Portret van Margareta Maria de Roodere (ca. 1625-1666) en haar ouders Gerard de Roodere (?-1656) en Maria van Putten (?-1655?)
<span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;">Margareta de Roodere sits at her easel. She looks at us and points at a painted portrait of her father that her mother is looking at. Gerard van Honthorst portrayed the trio in turn. Is Honthorst here complimenting his pupil on her skills as an artist? Or is he himself taking the credit for being a good teacher? Unlike her teacher's works, not a single painting by Van De Roodere has survived. For centuries, art made by women was considered inferior to that of men. [text 2023]</span>
