An atmospheric genre painting after Dutch Golden Age painter Gerrit Dou (1613–1675). The scene depicts a young maid holding a candle and lantern, the warm glow of the flickering flame illuminating her face with striking chiaroscuro against a dark background. Unsigned. On canvas on stretchers.
Condition
Signs of wear consistent with age, including discolouration and craquelure throughout. The canvas has been relined, and inspection under UV light reveals areas of overpainting. Overall, the artwork is in good condition for its age.
