EDITORS COMMENTS
After Milking Time" by Hendrick van der Burch, c. 1650, is a captivating oil on panel painting that offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Dutch dairy worker during the 17th century. The scene depicts a man and a woman, both dressed in traditional clothing of the time, engaged in the post-milking chores of the dairy. The woman, dressed in a long, flowing gown with an apron, wears a conical hat and holds a milk churn in one hand, while the man, wearing a simple smock and clogs, carries a barrel on his shoulder. The interior of the room is filled with the paraphernalia of dairy work - barrels and milk churns, a pump, and various farming implements such as a cabbage and carrots. The man seems to be offering the woman a drink from a wooden mug, while she looks away, perhaps indicating a sense of harassment or annoyance. The use of color and light in the painting adds to its warmth and homely atmosphere. The man's clothing includes a brass chain and a carriage boot, which were fashionable accessories for men during this period. The woman's dress, with its intricate patterns and rich colors, reflects the attention to detail and care that went into creating clothing during this era. The painting also showcases the use of metal, particularly in the milk churns and various farming tools. This painting is a valuable piece of European heritage art, offering a window into the daily life and occupations of the people of the Netherlands during the 17th century. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is home to this masterpiece by Hendrick van der Burch, which continues to captivate and intrigue art lovers and historians alike.
