About the piece
Painted around 1660, Gabriel Metsu’s 'The Intruder' is a premier example of Dutch Golden Age genre painting. The work showcases Metsu's incredible skill in depicting textures—from the plush velvet of the bed hangings to the shimmering satin of the woman's dress—all set within a meticulously detailed and atmospheric interior.
