Description: | Standing at an upright desk, a young woman in profile is absorbed in writing. Her chin rests in her left hand with her arm propped on the desk. The figure is stabilised by a leather chair set at an angle. The brown tonality of the interior is set off by an indigo dress with red flowers. Close attention is paid to the decorated side of the polished desk, and the highlighted brass studs of the chair-back. The subject indicates the influence of seventeenth-century Dutch painting. | Subjects: | figure; interior; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bisschop, Christoffel (Dutch artist, 1828-1904) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8397... | Go to resource |
