Dutch School, circa 1625-1635

An interior with an artist at his easel 


oil on panel

panel: 13 ¼ by 16 ⅜ in.; 33.7 by 41.6 cm.  

framed: 20 ⅜ by 23 ⅜ in.; 51.8 by 59.4 cm.  

Anonymous sale, Boston, Skinner Auctions, 26 May 2015, lot 1126 (as Dutch School, 17th century). 

This highly intriguing interior with an artist seated at his easel was painted around 1625-1635 by an accomplished, though as yet anonymous, Dutch hand. Some elements within the work suggest an awareness of the Amsterdam artist Pieter Codde, others point to a Haarlem hand like Hendrick Pot, while others suggest a Leiden artist, one possibly aware of Rembrandt's Artist in his Studio (circa 1628) in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.1
