Like fellow Delft artist Johannes Vermeer,
Pieter de Hooch specialized in quiet scenes of Dutch domestic life especially
courtyards at the back of upper middle class homes. Painted in the 1650s,
this painting may be one of de Hooch's earliest examples of the subject and
offers a glimpse into the private world of the Dutch home that visitors rarely
saw.
This painting is part of the fabulous permanent collection of the Toledo Art Museum. The Toledo Art Museum is FREE to the public.
Thank you for visiting.
