Portrait of a Couple is a portrait painting by Italian Renaissance artist Niccolò dell'Abbate, dated to c. 1537–1540. It is now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France. Its inventory number is 641. The double portrait of the count and countess is most unusual in that the emphasis is very much placed on the wife, who is depicted in the act of closing a book that she was just reading, while her husband almost timidly approaches from behind. It appears as a testament to Giulio Boiardo's admiration and love for Silvia Sanvitale's strong intellect and personality.

The former title of the painting was A Duke of Ferrara and his Wife. The double portrait of the count and countess is most unusual in that the emphasis is very much placed on the wife, who is depicted in the act of closing a book that she was just reading, while her husband almost timidly approaches from behind.
