The Empty Glass

Ask anything

• Tina Fattori asked

  Hello,
  I was wondering if there is an inscription on, "The Empty Glass"? I'm an information studies student who needs to create metadata attributes for this work for an assignment. I can't see one or find reference to it but I thought I'd check.
  It's not a big deal if you don't know, I just thought I'd ask in case I can impress my lecturer with something :)
  Have a great weekend,
  Tina.

  Hi Tina, our registration system does not hold information about any inscription (there is a field, but it is empty). Good luck with your assignment and kind regards, Els

• Megan Denson asked

  Hi, I recently bought two paintings from a high end estate sale in New Orleans, Louisiana which I believe are Pieter de Hooch. They have a striking resemblance to this painting. Is there someone I can email pictures to take a look?

• Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

  Hi Megan, I would reach out to our Curator of Old Masters about this (ruben.suykerbuyk@boijmans.nl). I've talked to him, so he knows about your question. Best, Lisa
