"How Well We Go Together" is a 1633 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows two odd-looking figures standing side by side. They’re dressed in old-fashioned clothes—one in a dark robe with a ruff collar, the other in a brown coat with furry cuffs. Their faces are scrunched up, almost like they’re in pain or making funny expressions. The background is plain, but there’s a banner above them with writing in a language that looks like Dutch. The banner says *"Hoe dienen wij by een!"*—which roughly means *"How well we go together!"*—but the figures don’t look happy about it. The painting feels a little rough, like it was done quickly or maybe even as a joke. If you like strange, expressive paintings, check out impasto.
