Pieter de Hooch produced some of his best genre paintings at the end of the 1550s, during his last years in Delft. A Woman Nursing an Infant with a Child and a Dog belongs to this group. In this tranquil interior a mother tenderly breastfeeds her infant. Her solicitous rectitude is imitated by the older child to her right. In an action that parallels that of her mother, the girl feeds the family dog from a dinner pot.
