The title
of this painting might be a bit prosaic but I find the painting quite fascinating
right from the dog and the mop to the intriguing view further down the
corridor.
This
painting was done in 1662 – over 400 years ago.
The original can be found in Gloucestershire in the UK – although the
artist was a Dutchman. He did paint it
in England though. The house belonged to
Samuel Pepys (the famous diarist).
A rather extraordinary portrayal of animal companions and a quiet conversation in a remote era - thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing view of the house.
