# Figures Drinking in a Courtyard [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HOOCH, Pieter de]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 68 x 58 cm ## Commentary In the period from about 1657 until 1660, when De Hooch gradually refined his mature style in Delft, he produced several pairs of closely related pictures, in at least two instances straightforward replicas of a composition. There is an autograph replica of this picture in the Mauritshuis, The Hague. This painting is related to the Courtyard of a House in Delft \(National Gallery, London\). Both canvases are dated 1658 and show approximately the same rear corner of a brick house, although there are differences between even the most similar motifs. ## Related artworks - [A Couple Playing Cards, with a Serving Woman]() - [A Dutch Courtyard \(detail\)]() - [A Dutch Courtyard]() - [A Woman and Two Men in an Arbour]() - [A Woman Drinking with Two Men]() - [A Woman Nursing an Infant with a Child and a Dog]() - [A Woman with a Baby in Her Lap, and a Small Child]() - [At the Linen Closet]() - [Card Players at a Table]() - [Cardplayers in a Sunlit Room]() - [Company Making Music]() - [Couple with Parrot]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
