EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Paying Hostess" takes us back to the year 1670, immersing us in the world of Dutch art. Painted by Pieter de Hooch, a renowned artist from Rotterdam, this oil canvas measures an impressive 37 1/4 x 43 3/4 inches (946 x 1111 cm). The subject of this artwork is a disputed reckoning between a pretty hostess and her customer at a country inn. De Hooch's mature work showcases his expertise in capturing everyday scenes with remarkable detail and precision. The artist's methodical approach is evident as he presents both characters modishly attired, emphasizing their social status. Dated back to 1658 according to some sources, "Paying Hostess" has been widely discussed in travelers' diaries of that time period. This painting stands as one of De Hooch's most iconic pieces, showcasing his ability to depict ordinary moments with extraordinary beauty. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into the bustling atmosphere of an old Dutch inn. We can almost hear the clinking coins and lively conversations taking place within its walls. This artwork serves as a testament to De Hooch's talent for capturing not only physical appearances but also the essence of human interactions.
