Summary
Signature - En bas à gauche : "N. Maes"
Dans un intérieur hollandais, une femme assise est penchée sur un ouvrage de dentelle réalisé à l'aide d'un fuseau. Placée à côté d'une fenêtre ouverte, la dentellière porte une robe et un bonnet noirs, et un col blanc. Plusieurs objets du quotidien sont posés sur le sol, au mur et sur un buffet au fond. A droite, la nappe posée sur la table est relevée sur le bord.
Nicolaes Maes was a Dutch painter of the Golden Age, known for his genre scenes and portraits. He was a pupil of Rembrandt and was strongly influenced by his teacher's use of light and shadow. Maes is best known for his domestic interiors, often depicting women engaged in everyday activities. His work is characterised by his attention to detail and naturalistic rendering of his subjects. Maes' paintings are in major museum collections around the world, including the Louvre, the National Gallery in London and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
