The double portrait is unusual: instead of presenting the clients in a static pose, as was the case, Rembrandt chose to depict them in action. Cornelio Anslo was a preacher and the presence of books on the desk underscores his knowledge of the Bible: he is represented as he speaks to his wife, emphasizing the emphasis of speech with a left arm movement. His wife Aaltje listens to her. The wealth of buyers is highlighted by various items: the books in large quantities in the room, the drapery that covers the writing desk, the preacher's fur lined jewel, the lady's precious cloth and his fine lace handkerchief .
