I new that the painting seemed shockingly familiar to me.
This one (“Der liederliche Student”) I’ve seen in the “Alte Pinakothek” in Munich some time ago - painted by van Honthorst in exactly the same year. Even quite apparent similarities with regard to the lady in blue…
Oh yes, you can definitely see the similarities. A beautiful work of his!
This piece is a great example of chiaroscuro (the use of strong contrasts between light and dark).
