In contrast to the quiet paintings we saw earlier by De Hooch and Vermeer, Gabriel Metsu gives us an active interior scene, filled with action and heightened emotion. Take a moment to drink in the scene. What do you think is happening here? How does Metsu provide a sense of drama through the composition of the painting? What might the keys, slipper, and comb mean? What do the colorful costumes convey? ‪#ArtAtoZ‬#Interior (Detail) Gabriel Metsu, "The Intruder," c. 1660​
