The Eavesdropper

Nicolaes Maes1657-01-01

Dordrechts Museum
Dordrecht, Netherlands

An interior with views into other spaces and an entertaining story. The eavesdropper draws the viewer in and invites them to share in the events taking place. Downstairs the maid is being kept from her work by her admirer, giving the cat free run of the kitchen and leaving the family upstairs waiting for service. Moral education and entertainment at their best!
