Description   

The compelling illusion of space here attests to De Hooch's famous command of perspective, and his handling of light and atmosphere. Above the fireplace there is a painting showing the Education of the Virgin. This is perhaps a moralizing comment on the worldly diversions of the people in the room.
Signed on the table at the extreme left: P D H.
