LUDOLF DE JONGH (ROTTERDAM 1616-HILLEGERSBERG 1679)
A formal Garden: three Ladies surprised by a Gentleman
RCIN 400596
Inspired by Pieter De Hooch, De Jongh painted well-appointed fashionable houses bathed in natural light. In this case the formal garden of a country villa is the setting for a scene of dalliance and gallantry, with Dutch merchants adopting the manners of French aristocrats.
Acquired by George IV by 1806
