# The Empty Glass [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HOOCH, Pieter de]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on panel, 44 x 35 cm ## Commentary De Hooch's earliest known paintings date from about 1653-54, when he was living in Rotterdam. Inn scenes such as the Empty Glass have been compared with a wide range of tavern interiors, including approximately contemporary works by Terborch and Van den Eeckhout. De Hooch's tonal palette of browns and yellows and to some extent his chiaroscuro effects remind one of Pieter Codde, Jan Miense Molenaer, and other artists working in Haarlem or Amsterdam. But his subjects and excitable figure types have been more closely associated with painters in Rotterdam. ## 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]()
