Zingend paar 1837 - 1853

"Zingend paar" (Singing Couple), created between 1837 and 1853 by Dutch artist Hendrik Wilhelmus Last, depicts a couple engaged in a quiet moment of shared reading. The intimate scene, rendered in black and white, showcases Last's skill in capturing detail and emotion. The artwork is a lithograph on paper, measuring 370 mm in height and 275 mm in width. The composition is balanced, with the couple positioned centrally in a comfortably furnished room, suggesting a domestic setting. "Zingend paar" is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to Last's contribution to Dutch art during the mid-19th century.
