Gerrit van Honthorst (also called Gerard; November 4, 1592, Utrecht – April 27, 1656, Utrecht), was an important and prolific painter of the Dutch Golden Age.
I adore this painting; it's just delightful. (I really hope its current state of conservation is better than how it appears in this reproduction.) I also really like another of his paintings, Shepherdess Adorned with Flowers, 1627, at the Seattle Art Museum.
I'm afraid this isn't a good reproduction; it's quite wonderful in person. |
