This pleasant genre scene, depicting a young innkeeper amiably conversing with a gentleman while preparing to serve him wine in a glass she still holds in her hand, is inspired by the painting created in 1653 by the Dutch painter Jan van der Meer, known as Vermeer d'Utrecht, and is now preserved in Paris at the Louvre Museum (https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010062141).
Set outside an inn or a post house, the scene illustrates the theme of seduction, with the young maid being courted by the customer, a charming traveler in a shimmering red cloak, who tries to charm her.
It is a work that harmoniously combines the painter's Dutch origins, with the stylistic characteristics learned during his training in his homeland, with the Italianate characteristics learned during his trip to Italy around 1655. In Rome, in particular, he met and collaborated with various artists of the Bamboccianti school, first and foremost Jan Miel.
The work shows incredible chromatic refinement and a luminous effect, typical of Flemish derivation, capable of enveloping this moment of daily life with an aura of rare poetry and intimacy. The result is to be immersed in a suspended atmosphere, as if outside of time.
The canvas allows us to appreciate the care with which the artist describes the protagonists, their gestures, an attention that indicates a vision and a study from life of daily life, read and interpreted without literary filters but with marked naturalism, sincere and passionate.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The painting is sold complete with a pleasant frame, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic sheet.
