1665 (ca.), Pieter de Hooch, Interior with a Young Couple -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)

From the museum label: De Hooch was particularly skilled at interior scenes that capture the fall of light into rooms constructed from elaborately interlocking rectangular forms. These spaces provide the backdrop for a glimpse into the private lives of prosperous families. Here we see a young couple sharing an intimate moment in their bedroom; the woman gazes into a mirror on the wall while the man plays with their dog.
