THIS PAINTING EXEMPLIFIES DE HOOCH'S USE OF DOORKIJKJE, 'THE OPENING OF ONE VISTA FROM ONE ROOM INTO ANOTHER.' HERE, HE RECREATES A RICH INTERPLAY BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SPACES THROUGH AN ATMOSPHERIC PORTRAYAL OF LIGHT.
THE WARM COLOURS, THE RELAXED FEEL AND THE SENSE OF DEPTH WITHIN THE PAINTING DREW ME TOWARDS CHOOSING THIS PIECE FOR THE PROJECT.
