クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「The Unequal Lovers theme of this work by Hendrick ter Brugghen descends from 16th century precedents, which depicted the folly of old men with young women. A close examination of his eye socket reveals that he is wearing a hooked nose mask to which a grey beard is attached – a type of disguise familiar from contemporary images of commedia dell'arte figures. .⠀ .⠀ Ter Brugghen, in characteristically creative fashion, offers an original interpretation on a traditional theme by adding the man's playful adoption of a persona; the viewer gradually realizes that, like his amused and compliant consort, the masker is actually a young man who only assumes the guise of an old lecher.⠀ .⠀ Hendrick ter Brugghen (The Hague 1588-1629 Utrecht). 'The ill-matched lovers'. Estimate: $2,000,000-3,000,000.⠀ .⠀ Old Masters — 15 October, New York⠀ .⠀ #oldmasters #classicweek #art #artist #painting #hendrickterbrugghen #terbrugghen #lovers」10月13日 1時46分
