Marten and Oopjen
Both canvases were restored in the Rijksmuseum in 2017-2018. The painting with Marten was restored in the US in 1952 and that of Oopjen in 1956 in the Rijksmuseum. During the restoration in 2017-2018, an examination with macro X-ray fluorescence showed that Rembrandt had initially situated the portraits in front of a door. He later replaced that background with a black curtain. It also turned out that the layers of varnish had yellowed due to smoke damage, probably because there was a lot of smoking in the bedroom at the Rothschild family home where the paintings hung.
