Jan de Bray's painting, "Suffer the little children to come unto me: Pieter Braems, Emmerentia van der Laen and their children," is a notable work from the Dutch Golden Age. Created in 1663, this painting is a family portrait that combines religious themes with personal representation, a common practice in 17th-century Dutch art.

The painting depicts Pieter Braems and his wife, Emmerentia van der Laen, along with their children, in a scene inspired by the biblical passage from the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus invites children to come to him. This integration of a religious narrative within a family portrait reflects the era's blending of personal and spiritual life.

Jan de Bray, known for his skillful portraiture and historical scenes, employs a balanced composition and a restrained color palette, typical of his style. The figures are arranged in a harmonious manner, with attention to detail in their expressions and attire, showcasing de Bray's ability to capture both likeness and character.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its insight into the social and cultural context of the time. It reflects the importance of family, faith, and the role of art in expressing personal and religious identity during the Dutch Golden Age. The choice of a biblical theme underscores the family's piety and the broader societal values of the period.

Currently housed in the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, Netherlands, this work is an excellent example of Jan de Bray's mastery and the rich tradition of Dutch portraiture. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance, offering a window into the lives and beliefs of the 17th-century Dutch bourgeoisie.
