Gallant Company
Gallant Company, by Pieter Codde, 1633, Dutch painting, oil on panel. The painting has a double meaning. Two elegantly dressed men enter the room, holding a partridge and a hare, alluding to Dutch expressions for ?hunting hare? and ?birding?, used vulgarly to mean ?making love?. One woman accepts the hare, and there is a bed in the right background (BSLOC_2016_3_59)
