OCHTERVELT, Jacob (b. 1634, Rotterdam, d. 1682, Amsterdam) |
Itinerant Musicians1660-65Oil on oak, 56 x 47 cm Staatliche Museen, Berlin | ||
This domestic tableau by Ochtervelt contrasts the security of a wealthy home with the hazards of itinerant musicians who stand outside its opened door. Firmly placed within the extended space of the residence, the viewer is aware of the poverty of those without.
