Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting shows a Dutch domestic interior. In the centre is a seated woman, at her feet is a young girl, reading from a book of psalms. In the shadows behind them, to the right, is an old woman, resting in bed. On a stand to the right is a copy of the Bible, on the floor to the left is a sleeping dog. The contrasting ages of the three women suggests that there is an allegorical meaning to the painting, based on the 'three ages of man'. | Subjects: | old woman); allegory (time) woman interior; everyday life; figure (girl | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Chimaer van Oudendorp, Wilhelmus Cornelius (Dutch painter, 1822-1873) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8825... | Go to resource |
