![Pieter de Hooch - Interior with a Young Couple [c.1665] by Gandalf's Gallery](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_s70tZ5l09RIFlppZ6EDND70BP0lw4k1aSpTeOssfa4VdTjAUSvUNQ22E0g1CLg1l3Zw1KhY9sVnwiPJ7AUCQsO6lu19tCqvIVuvcYbLFLGN1UE3777kq8Pfiy0EE4D=s0-d)
De Hooch (1629 - 1684) probably painted this picture shortly after he moved from Delft to Amsterdam in the early 1660s. The subtle variation of direct and reflected light through a succession of rooms was an effect achieved by De Hooch during his activity in Delft. Some areas of the painting, particularly the figures and the floor, have suffered from abrasion.
