Dutch School: 18th-century Galant Scene In The Style Of Caspar Netscher

A small Dutch painting depicting a charming scene with a lighthearted message: "Futile Resistance," in which an older man is seen making advances toward a younger woman, who is trying to resist while spilling a jug of wine, with a small dog barking at her feet, the scene unfolding under the indulgent gaze of a man smoking a pipe.
On the right, a four-poster bed is visible, and on the left, a maid is entering through a door leading from a well-lit room.
A large mirror hangs above the scene.
The details are exquisitely fine, much like a miniature.
In a private collection; the original varnish has yellowed slightly, with a few small vertical chips in the paint on the left.
Beautiful 19th-century frame made of wood and gilded stucco.
A charming Dutch painting in the Baroque style depicting a scene that is very much in vogue right now; one could not more aptly highlight this kind of scene today.
The oak panel consists of two parts, as shown in the photos.
A very beautiful, intimate 18th-century scene with a 19th-century frame.

Dimensions:
25 cm by 20 cm for the panel and 40 cm by 35 cm with the frame.
