Description: | Signed: yes Description: In this imitation of a Dutch period painting, the title implies that the woman in the centre of the composition is being proposed to by the hat-wearing man standing next to her. The title may however be somehow ironic, as she does not seem to be overjoyed by the prospect. The dog at the couple's feet symbolizes faithfulness. The little girl could be the woman's sister, crying because she is going to lose her confident. | Subjects: | interior; figure; animal (dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mallet, Jean Baptiste (French painter and printmaker, 1759-1835) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9009... | Go to resource |
