Description: | Signed: yes Description: Although the attribution of this painting has previously been debated, the discovery of a small signature painted on the page of music appears to confirm the author as Caspar Netscher. The image is characteristic of his earlier works, when he painted genre and subject pictures before turning almost exclusively to portraiture. The textures of the women's silk dresses and the meticulous detail on the table cover were aspects for which he was renowned. Musical subjects such as this were popular in genre paintings of that period and full of romantic innuendo. In the background a statue of Cupid is visible. | Subjects: | everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Netscher, Caspar (Dutch painter, 1639-1684) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8500... | Go to resource |
