Verkolje specialised in refined portraits and genre scenes, in the manner of Gerard Terborch and Caspar Netscher as well as Johannes Vermeer. Each of these artists was responsive to the taste of the Dutch court at The Hague. In the present painting, an officer in the Dutch army romances an exquisitely beautiful young woman, who combines the grace of a dancer with the poise of the patrician class.
