A Merry Company
1634 | Anthonie Palamedesz
A Group of cavaliers and disreputable women are enjoying each other’s company. They are enjoying music, drinking, smoking pipes and playing chess. Palamedesz specialised in painting cheerful scenes of middle-class people, and usually set them in an interior flooded with light. The colourful costumes of the figures stand out against the generally brown tone that was characteristic of Dutch painting at the time. Stylistically, Palamedesz’s paintings are similar to works by Dirck Hals and Pieter Codde.
