Description: | It has been suggested that this type of two-figure composition was inspired by similar works produced by Frans Hals (1581/85-1666) in the 1620s, in which the artist juxtaposed one figure in the central foreground with a second figure behind or to the side, e.g. Two Singing Boys (about 1623-25; Kassel) or St Matthew (about 1625; Odessa). De Bray may in his turn have derived his composition from either Hals himself or from the work of the two younger painters. | Subjects: | figure; animal (dove); allegory; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bray, Jan de (Dutch painter, ca. 1627-1697) Æ After Previously attributed to Flinck, Govaert (Dutch painter, draftsman, 1615-1660) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8637... | Go to resource |
