DELEN, Dirck van
(b. 1604/5, Heusden, d. 1671, Arnemuiden)

Interior Scene

1632
Oil on oak panel, 81 x 109 cm
Private collection

This painting depicts an interior scene with elegant figures playing music. The figures in the imaginary palatial interior were formerly attributed to Dirck Hals. However, they are very probably by Delen himself, modelled upon those painted by Hals in earlier joint works from the later 1620s.
