Interior with a woman reading and and a child with a hoop (1662-1666). Pieter de Hooch (Dutch, 1629-1684). Oil on canvas. Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum.The painting shows a rich domestic interior with a black and white marble tiled floor. An elegant young man is seen leaving through the open door across a pink and white tiled courtyard and towards a classical-style doorway, allowing us a further view beyond of probably the houses across the street. In front of the woman reading, a young boy dressed in a yellow jacket and frock is playing with a hoop; the frock indicates his young age. -- source link
