About the piece
Painted around 1656, Pieter de Hooch’s 'Woman with a Child in a Pantry' is a classic example of Dutch genre painting. The work is celebrated for its intricate play of light and shadow, particularly the 'doorkijkje'—a view through a series of rooms—that leads the eye from the intimate pantry to a sun-drenched hallway beyond.
