Description

Quiringh Gerritsz. Van Brekelenkam, 1622 Zwammerdam – 1668 Leiden

OLD LADY PRAYING AT THE TABLE Oil on wood. 33.5 x 24.5 cm. Signed and dated lower left, probably "1662", verso old label with artist's name and date "cirka 1650". In decorative frame. In a dark interior, an old lady sits facing left on a high chair, a white cloth on her lap in front of her, on which lies a flat, shiny bowl with a fish. She has her hands folded devoutly in front of her chest and seems to be saying grace with her mouth open. Lost in thought, her eyes glance sideways over the food. Next to her is a table with bread, a piece of pottery and a jug. The painting could not only be a genre painting, but could also be understood as a reference to the memento mori idea of frugal and lonely old age. (14023222) (10)
