The theme was already well-established in the early 1660s, when this painting was likely made, and in his treatment Van der Neer suggests, in the young woman’s fine but modest attire, the silver writing set and sealing wax, and the extinguished candle (a conventional vanitas symbol), a degree of virtue and cultivation.For two centuries, the painting was considered to be by Gerard ter Borch. Though clearly inspired by Ter Borch, the execution is decidedly Van der Neer’s own. The artist’s polished mature style brought him success and noble patronage later in his career.. The Reader.

Author: Lucas Cranach the Elder.Head of a Woman. Artist: Anonymous, Bohemian, 15th century. Dimensions: sheet: 3 9/16 x 2 3/4 in. (9.1 x 7 cm). Date: ca. 1405-10.The refinement of the International Gothic Style and the flowering of the visual arts in Prague at the court of Emperor Charles IV and his successors are both apparent in this sheet, which is among the few drawings of this period to have survived. Most of these drawings are likely to have once been part of pattern books, which artists kept in their workshops to provide them with models for paintings and illuminations. This drawing, one of the most outstanding of its kind and apparently unique in its use of color, probably served as a model for representations of the Virgin. Its style has been linked to a sheet (now in the Cleveland Museum of Art) from the so-called Seitenstetten Antiphonary, made for a Bohemian monastery about 1405, and it can be attributed to an artist active in the workshop that produced that manuscript. Its importance as a relatively preAnonymous. "Sainte Marguerite". Polychrome and golden wood. 1520. Museum of Fine Arts of the City of Paris, Petit Palais. 145008-10Young Woman with a Pink ca. 1485-90 Hans Memling Rather than depicting a specific woman, this painting of an idealized beauty probably once formed the outer left wing of a triptych. Together with its pendant (Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam), the panel represents the virtues of true love and the obstacles it must overcome. The woman holds a pink, a flower symbolizing betrothal or marriage. She gazes toward the pendant panel, which depicts two horses and a monkey, symbols for the man in love and the opposing attributes of lust and faithfulness. The interior of the triptych perhaps depicted portraits of the betrothed couple and their family coats of arms on the interior wings.. Young Woman with a Pink.
