A painting of a 17th century Dutch domestic courtyard in which a standing woman in a red skirt lifts a glass of beer to her lips while a man in black heavy clothing smokes a long pipe while seated. To the right a serving child (girl) stands ready with hot coals for the pipe. A door opens from the courtyard leading away elsewhere, and in the distance are sticking up trees and a church belltower.

Pieter de Hooch.
A Dutch Courtyard, 1658-60.
Woman Drinking with Soldiers, 1658.
I knew he was formulaic but I had not realized until today how closely his compositions rhymed sometimes. Look at that! The last two are almost identical, but for the missing soldier in what is thought to be the more recent and inferior copy.
