Lot 56: Dirck Wijntrack (before 1625 -1678)

The interior of a barn, with a wheelbarrow, barrels, jugs and other kitchen utensils, vegetables, poultry, ducks and a cat, a peasant entering through a doorway in the background oil on panel 54.9 x 80.4 cm. NOTES Little is known about the artist, who was active in Rotterdam and The Hague. The detailed rendition of the poultry and kitchen utensils, combined with the diagonally composed stable interior and the background figure, is characteristic of the artist's work. The present lot can be compared with the painting, signed and dated 1650, in the Historisch Museum, The Hague (see E. Buijsen, et al.5i, Haagse Schilders in de Gouden Eeuw, 1998, p. 269, fig. 1). We are grateful to Mr. Fred Meijer of the RKD for confirming the attribution on the basis of a photograph.
