EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "The Poultry Yard" showcases the beauty and charm of Jacoba Maria van Wassenaer, a young girl from the 17th century Dutch Golden Age. Painted by Jan Havicksz Steen in 1660, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 106.6x80.8 cm and is currently housed at the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands. In this enchanting scene, we see Jacoba surrounded by a variety of animals in a picturesque courtyard setting. A lamb playfully nuzzles against her while birds flutter around her delicate figure. This painting beautifully captures the innocence and serenity of childhood. Adding depth to the composition is the castle of Lokhorst or Oud-Teijlingen visible in the background - an important detail as it was Jacoba's residence during that time. Interestingly enough, Steen himself resided nearby in Warmond village when he created this artwork. "The Poultry Yard" not only showcases Steen's exceptional talent for capturing human emotion but also his ability to depict intricate details such as clothing textures and animal fur with remarkable precision. As you gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, let yourself be transported back to a bygone era where children played freely amidst nature's wonders. Experience the magic of Dutch Baroque art through this timeless portrayal of youth and harmony within an idyllic countryside setting.
