An Elegant Company
Pieter Codde, 1632
A master of scenes of finely dressed revelers known as “merry companies,” Pieter Codde here demonstrated his sharp sense of composition. He animated a gathering of guests and attendants through a complex network of gestures, glances, and poses, with a young woman dressed in luxurious silver satin at center. Such images of joyful gatherings would have functioned as models of polite behavior to cosmopolitan art collectors.
