Description: | A young couple flirt over a game of backgammon. At the left of the composition is a young man who is fashionably attired in a wide-brimmed plumed hat and yellow silk suit. To the right is his female companion who wears a turquoise dress with low décolleté and a pink rose in her hair. They gaze at each other, rather than concentrating on the game. An elderly woman dons spectacles to peer at the board. A scoreboard hangs on the wall to the upper right. The elderly woman is almost identical to a figure appearing in another painting of backgammon players by Jan van Bijlert (Nasjonalgalleriet, Oslo). | Subjects: | everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bijlert, Jan van (Dutch painter, born ca. 1597, died 1671) Æ Circle of Previously attributed to Boulogne, Valentin de (French painter, 1591-1632) Previously attributed to Caravaggio, Michelangelo Merisi da (Italian painter, 1571-1610) Previously attributed to Ducq, Johan le (Dutch painter, born 1629, died 1676 or 1677) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8352... | Go to resource |
