## Artwork

- Artist: [MULLER, Jan Harmensz.](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/muller-jan-harmensz-r0724f922598da4>)
- Date: 1601-1650
- Technique: Red, black and white chalk, 226 x 248 mm

## Commentary

After 1600, alongside the application of the pen and ink technique, Muller started to use chalk more frequently, which was better suited to enhancing painterliness. An example of this is the Couple Kissing, in which the red dominates of the three different colour chalks applied.
