{"product_id":"maria-met-kind-jacob-duck","title":"Maria met Kind - Jacob Duck","description":"\u003cp\u003eA quiet Dutch Golden Age genre scene by Jacob Duck, depicting a man and a child in a dimly lit interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacob Duck, a painter active in Utrecht during the seventeenth century, is known for his depictions of domestic life and guardroom scenes. This work, titled Maria met Kind, presents a quiet, interior moment that contrasts with the more boisterous military subjects often associated with the artist. The composition focuses on a man seated in a dimly lit room, occupied with a manual task, while a small child sits on the floor nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighting in this piece follows the tenebrist tradition common in Dutch Golden Age painting, where a single light source creates strong contrasts between the illuminated figures and the shadowed background. Duck employs a muted palette of browns, ochres, and deep greys, which draws the viewer's attention to the textures of the clothing and the simple tools scattered on the floor. The setting is sparse, suggesting a humble environment, and the artist captures the stillness of the scene with precise brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuck was a member of the Utrecht Guild of Saint Luke and his work frequently explored the lives of ordinary people. Unlike the grand historical or religious narratives favoured by some of his contemporaries, Duck preferred the observation of daily routines. This painting provides a look into the domestic sphere of the period, focusing on the interaction between the adult and the child. The lack of elaborate ornamentation ensures that the focus remains on the figures and their quiet occupation. The work is characteristic of the artist's ability to render atmosphere through shadow and subtle colour transitions, providing a window into the social realities of the mid-seventeenth-century Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/edward-waldo-forbes-pietro-pezzati\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEdward Waldo Forbes - Pietro Pezzati — Pietro Pezzati\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/shells-julie-de-graag\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eShells - Julie de Graag — Julie de Graag\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacob Duck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794158358863,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794168222031,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794168254799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794168287567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794168320335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794168353103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794168385871,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794168418639,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794168451407,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794168484175,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794168516943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794168549711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Maria-met-Kind_Poster_CompositorV1_1789530594377.jpg?v=1789531148","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/maria-met-kind-jacob-duck","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
