The panel depicts a married couple in a single image, a format developed in German art and popular with clients. Examples of double portraits are also to be found in 15 th-century Flemish art.
They stand close to one another, hand in hand, and are most likely only recently married. They wear their finest outfits with fashionable collars and expensive jewels. Codde captured the opulence of their clothing in meticulous detail, right down to the wedding ring on the woman’s index finger.
The traditional symbol of marriage, two interlinked right hands are here joined so as to display proudly the woman’s valuable diamond engagement ring. Pride, tenderness, trust and care are condensed in this single gesture. And although the sitters have passed the bloom of youth, it is possible the picture commemorates a recently married couple.

Newlyweds Dorit, 25, and Alex, 30, decide at their wedding party to revisit their hitherto extremely intense love relation in a playful marital spat that intensifies. The buzzed and charged mood consistently pushes the combative potential of the two - until the young bride loses touch with reality.
