This portrait by Judith Leyster depicts a smiling youth holding a red ceramic jug. The painting exemplifies Leyster's skill in capturing everyday life with realistic detail and lively brushwork.
Judith Leyster (1609-1660) was a Dutch Golden Age painter. She was one of the few recognised female artists of the period, known for her genre scenes and portraits. Leyster's style is characterised by its lively brushwork, realistic depiction of figures, and use of light and shadow. She often portrayed everyday life, capturing moments of joy, music, and camaraderie. Her artistic skill allowed her to gain membership in the Haarlem Guild of Saint Luke. Her work was sometimes misattributed to Frans Hals or her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer. In "A Youth with a Jug", Leyster presents a close-up portrait of a young man, his gaze lowered with a slight smile. He holds a red ceramic jug with a pewter lid. The youth is dressed in a dark doublet with a white ruffled collar and a red cap adorned with feathers. The colour palette is restrained, dominated by dark browns and reds, with highlights of white and flesh tones. The background is dark, which concentrates attention on the figure. The composition is simple, with the figure filling most of the canvas. Leyster's brushwork is visible, adding texture and depth to the painting.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

signing with a star, suing Frans Hals, painting seven brilliant years, then vanishing into her husband's workshop until 1893 proved the paintings were hers
