Source Description
The intimacy that the depiction of a figure, especially a woman, at a window had, by the mid 1600s, been a common setting since two hundred years. The play of deep red with browns and black executed with broad brush work that the artist makes no real effort to hide marks the technique as in debt to Rembrandt van Rijn in Amsterdam. The work has recently and very reasonably been attributed to Cornelis Bisschop (Dordrecht 1630-1674 Dordrecht) by the scholar David de Witt. Bisschop trained in Amsterdam with Ferdinand Bol, himself a former student of Rembrandt, and brought these qualities back to Dordrecht in 1653 where this painting may have been executed.
