An Ill-matched Pair

Title

An Ill-matched Pair

[cda 2017]

Painting on wood

[In this version] an ugly, gap-toothed old man extends his left hand from the right around the girl's neck, placing it under her left armpit with an amorous smile; his right hand is stretched out towards her and with an upward gesture he appears to give expression to his love; the girl is dismissive or indifferent, staring instead beyond him with her hands folded in her lap. Here the old man wears a fur gown and hat, his dark green doublet exhibits a red slit at the front, the girl wears a red dress with puffed sleeves, a green bodice and a bonnet decorated with gold embroidery.

Research History / Discussion

This panel appears to be very similar to DE_BStGS_1130, which is slightly larger in format. The present panel may have been trimmed as the composition appears cropped. It may have originally had the same dimensions as the above mentioned workshop version in Munich.
