유리잔을 든 소녀 by Hendrick Ter Brugghen, 1620s

Meet the life of the 17th-century Dutch tavern! Hendrick ter Brugghen captures a cheeky young woman mid-toast, her glass of white wine raised high and a pewter jug ready for a refill. With a feather bouncing in her hair and a low-cut bodice showing off her confidence, she’s practically winking at the viewer. Ter Brugghen was one of the 'Utrecht Caravaggisti,' Dutch artists who traveled to Italy and brought back Caravaggio’s dramatic lighting techniques. Notice how the light hits her face and the gleaming glass against the pitch-black background? It’s theatrical, intimate, and makes you feel like you’re sitting right across the table from her, waiting for the next round.
