Here's a really pretty water pump I finished on Friday. Guess I'm ready for spring.

This is a Mill Hill Buttons & Beads kit. I love doing the bead work, but it does take a little longer. This project fits perfectly in a 6x6 frame.

Woman and Child in a Courtyard

Artist: Pieter de Hooch (Dutch, 1629-1684)

Date: 1658/1660

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Description

Pieter de Hooch excelled in the sensitive depiction of people going about their daily lives, be it inside their houses or in the sheltered environment of an urban courtyard. His masterly control of light, color, and complex perspectival construction can be compared to the work of Johannes Vermeer, his contemporary and colleague in Delft.

The old town wall of Delft forms the rear wall of a courtyard in which a maidservant, carrying a jug and a laundry basket, and a small child holding a birdcage make their way to the water pump. A woman and two men enjoy some red wine in the classically inspired arbor against the back wall. The same arbor, wall, and steps occur in two other De Hooch paintings, but the variations in composition confirm that the artist freely altered the architectural elements. It is unlikely that the courtyard scenes represent an actual location, but they are clearly based on views from the backyards of the houses on the west side of the Oude Gracht in Delft where De Hooch and his family are thought to have resided.
