Catalogue Note
This mirror frame was presumably made on the occasion of the marriage of Dirk Jan Roest van Alkemade with Elisabeth Aletta Maria Barchman Wuytiers (1691-1732), daughter of Jan Baptist Barchman Wuytiers (1665-1711). Elisabeth seems to have been widowed soon after her first marriage, subsequently marrying Jacques Elie de Maleprade (1693-1774).
