The Intruder by Gabriel Metsu https://www.nga.gov/artworks/64-intruder
The Protestant Dutch had a reputation for strict rules that defined social conduct. Only on rare occasions, such as a betrothal when a suitor was expected to show passion for his future wife, would a demonstration of emotion be considered proper.
Humphrey Mildmay [1794-1853], and Thomas Baring [1799-1873], London, and Stratton Park
