Together with Dirck Hals, Hendrick Pot and Willem Buytewech, Pieter Codde played a key role in the development of genre painting during the first half of the 17th century. His earliest known genre work is the Dancing Lesson in the Musée du Louvre (1627), and from that point onwards he concentrated on producing interiors populated with elegant, merrymaking figures.
