About the piece
Created around 1680, this work by Godfried Schalcken is a prime example of late 17th-century Dutch painting. It depicts a young woman in luxurious blue and orange silks receiving a moral lesson, rendered with the artist's signature dramatic chiaroscuro lighting and meticulous attention to textile texture.
