Narrative within: Pieter de Hooch (artist) The Bedroom, 1658/1660

• it's a bourgeois Dutch household we're looking into.
• A cool northern light streams through the tall windows and the door way to the floor.
• A room leads into rooms.
• Doorways frame doorways. There is an emphasis on continuousness.
• Series of connected rooms
• The play of light within the room
• Backyard has a relationship to the interior
• It appear as tough the maid is working for in a rich household, due to the difference of clothes between her and the little girl.
• Action of everyday domestic activity
• The women is in the quite interior of the home , deep in thought while directing some duty...
• The light makes our sight move from figure to figure in the room
• Everything is clean and pristine
• There is a kind of drowsiness produced by the sunlight
• The garden and the house are only a few steps away
• The wall as well as the room alternate shade and light
• Big and spacious room
• It looks like the maid is dreaming out of the window, due to the material in hand it may seem she is dreaming about sewing?
• The child disturbs the sense of peace enforcing the fact that the maiden does not have a free life she has to serve the family .
• Richly furnished.
• its palpable space, strong sunlight, and sonorous colour harmonies
• There is a banded pattern made by the light on the interior's marble floor.
• It's a classic 'keyhole' De Hooch, featuring an interior scene, an open door that pulls the eye through the room out onto a little patio, and then through a patio door out into what looks like a garden.
