Woman with a Water Pitcher, and a Man by a Bed

by HOOCH, Pieter de, Oil on canvas, 62 x 52 cm

This painting is one of De Hooch’s variations on an amorous theme. The motif of pulling on a stocking and that of a dog nosing about were both recognized in De Hooch’s day as sexual innuendos when the context supported such readings.

The painting is a fragment of a broader canvas, it has lost about 17 cm on the right.
