During the early 1660s in Amsterdam, De Hooch's work was increasingly devoted to images of wealth and fashion; his townhouse interiors with marble floors are filled with velvety shadows and shimmering reflections. The daylight that once lingered on brick and plaster walls now skims over satin skirts and gilt leather walls.
