About the piece
Painted around 1650 by Nicolaes Maes, this quintessential Dutch Golden Age work captures a quiet moment of reflection. The 'Daydreamer' leans on a cushioned sill, framed by a stone archway and a vibrant red shutter, while luscious apricots spill into the foreground, showcasing Maes's mastery of light and domestic warmth.
