Charming 18th-century Northern European oil on panel depicting a young Dutch woman watering a plant from a blue-and-white Delft jug, seated by a wooden window. The composition and warm domestic light recall the intimate atmosphere of Vermeer’s followers.
Executed with delicate brushwork and refined modeling, typical of mid-18th-century Dutch interiors. The jug, furniture, and costume details evoke the influence of Delft and Haarlem painters.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
