Summary

This essay proposes that Haarlem genre artist Jan Miense Molenaer created two paintings, only known today from photographs in the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD). The pictures depict peasants; two are playing cards, others are observers. Molenaer plausibly used print prototypes after the designs of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, adding observations from life of his present day. The figures are the same in the two pictures, concerning their costumes and gestures. Some slightly differ in their size and emotional reaction in one work with the employment of an extra participant. Repeating protagonists from one painting to the next with little change was a workshop practice Molenaer undertook frequently after he dated his paintings in 1629. It is suggested the artist may have known the prints after the elder Bruegel’s inventions through the Antwerp print market, or more directly through Adriaen Brouwer.

概括

本文提出哈勒姆流派艺术家扬·米恩斯·莫莱纳尔（Jan Miense Molenaer）创作了两幅画，直到今天才从国家艺术文献库（RKD）的照片中得知。这些照片描绘了农民。两个是扑克牌，其他是观察员。Molenaer在老彼得·布鲁格（Pieter Bruegel）设计之后合理地使用了印刷原型，并增加了他今生的观察力。关于它们的服装和手势，两张图片中的人物相同。有些作品在雇用一名额外参与者的情况下，其大小和情感反应略有不同。在几乎没有变化的情况下将主人公从一幅画重复到下一幅是Molenaer在1629年对画作约会之后经常进行的车间实践。
