A Kitchen
by SORGH, Hendrick Maertensz., Oil on wood, 52 x 44 cm
This scene, representing two kitchen maids working in the bright light of a tall window, is a typical domestic scene by Hendrick Sorgh. A barely seen amorous couple are squeezed in between the maids. The painter devoted close attention to the still-life elements on the cabinet by the window and across the foreground.
