75 x 62 cm, painted around 1939


Like the other "Pieter de Hoogh", Interior with Drinkers, this is very much a pastiche of other genuine de Hooghs, and is particularly reminiscent of Dutch Interior in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. It was not sold until 1941. Once more Strijbis and Hoogendijk were used as intermediaries, the buyer being van der Vorm (who was later to buy Isaac Blessing Jacob). The price was 219,000 guilders, the present-day equivalent of 550,000 GB pounds.
