About the piece

Painted in 1793 by Willem Bartel van der Kooi, this interior scene captures the drawing lesson of Anna Charlotte Didier de Boncour. The composition is rich with narrative detail, from the focused concentration of the young artist to the curious onlookers and the quiet presence of a dog beneath the table, all set within a refined, paneled room.
