The courtyard of a house in Delft

Date: 1658

The painting depicts a vivid rural scene. An old woman and a young girl stand on the doorstep of a wooden house overlooking interlocking brick paving. The woman, dressed in period clothing, holds a book and appears to be reading or telling a story to the girl, who looks up at her with rapt attention. On the left side of the scene, a lady can be seen entering an adjacent building. The overall impression is calm and relaxed.
