Gerad Dow pixt., W.French sc., Stahlstich-Sammlung der vorzüglichesnen Gemälde der Dresdner Galerie. Hrsg. v. Adolph Görling & A.H. Payne. Dresden 1830, 192 x 140 auf 304 x 224 mm. Gerrit Dou (April 7, 1613 - February 9, 1675), also known as Gerard and Douw or Dow, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, whose small, highly-polished paintings are typical of the Leiden fijnschilders. He specialised in genre scenes and is noted for his trompe l'oeil "niche" paintings and candlelit night-scenes with strong chiaroscuro.
