Rubens, His Wife Helena Fourment (1614–1673), and Their Son Frans (1633–1678), ca. 1635, Oil on wood, 80 1/4 x 62 1/4 in. (203.8 x 158.1 cm), Paintings, Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, Siegen 1577–1640 Antwerp), This magnificent portrait shows the artist with his second wife and one of their five children strolling in a 'Garden of Love.' The child wears male attire and must be Frans (1633–1678). He appears without his older sister because the picture is not a family portrait but an homage to Helena as wife and mother, one of whose most important attributes was providing her husband with a son
