Casa de Bonecas

Jacob Appel, Doll’s House of Petronella Oortman (c. 1710, Rijksmuseum)

Descobri esta pintura no blogue Alberti's Window (de Monica Bowen) e achei-a muito interessante, porque julgo que nunca tinha visto uma pintura de uma casa de bonecas do século XVIII. No poste desse blogue, onde esta pintura aparece, a autora explica algo que também não sabia: «I learned this evening that it there was a small group of adult Dutch women in the 17th and 18th centuries which have miniature houses – these dollhouses and miniatures were usually given in connection with weddings. They weren’t meant to be for children to play with, but were meant for adult collectors to enjoy».
