# Young Woman Drinking [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HOOCH, Pieter de]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 69 x 60 cm ## Commentary This work dates from Pieter de Hooch's best period, 1654-62, when he worked in Delft. During these years he painted tranquil scenes of bourgeois domesticity and conversation pieces set in clearly lit interiors, courtyards, or small gardens. His subtle construction of space in depth and his refined use of lighting create an almost lyrical effect, and his style directly anticipates that of Vermeer. ## 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]()
