Attributed to Antoine de Favray. Painted 1769 - 1771.
In the centre of this painting we see David George van Lennep and his wife Anna Maria Leidstar seated on a yellow divan. They belonged to the Levantine elite of the city of Smyrna (now Izmir, in Turkey). These were mostly families originally from the Netherlands who no longer spoke Dutch and had adopted Turkish customs and dress. At the far left is Anna Maria’s father, the textile merchant Justinus Leidstar.
