मिरजेतला कोणताही वाडा.....The Courtyard of a House in Delft

खालील चित्र पहिले आणि, गोऱ्या बायका सोडल्या तर, एकदम लहानपणच्या मिरजेतल्या कोणत्यातरी वाड्यात गेल्यासारखे वाटले ...भारतात अस चित्र काढल गेलय का?

या चित्राचे वर्णन गार्डियन पेपर मध्ये असे करण्यात आले आहे:
 "A quiet moment in a Dutch town more than 350 years ago is preserved in all its ordinariness and wonder by this magical painting. Bricks and stone flooring are depicted with a meticulous observation of reality that goes back in north European art to the early 15th-century masterpieces of Jan van Eyck. By the time de Hooch put this little courtyard into oils, the scientific revolution was adding a new dimension to the exactitude of Dutch art. One of de Hooch’s fellow Delft burghers was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, inventor of the compound microscope. Another was the still sharper observational painter Johannes Vermeer. This is a lovely survival from a golden age of seeing.
