Interior with a Young Couple and a Dog (1662) is an oil-on-panel painting by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Leggi
This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1910, who wrote:74. TWO FIGURES AND A DOG IN A BEDROOM. De G. 71. A woman stands at a window to the right; a man sits to her left beckoning to a dog. On the left is visible another room with gilt leather hangings. On the right is a bed, resembling that of the Rijksmuseum picture from the Van der Hoop collection (71), and having similar green curtains. This picture also is of the best period, about 1665, and recalls the larger picture in the Louvre (255). The figures are stiff. Canvas (?), 21 inches by 23 1/2 inches. In the collection of the late Rodolphe Kann in Paris purchased as a whole by Duveen Brothers of London, August 1907.

Moves to Amsterdam
The move is inferred from the fact that the painter's wife attended a baptism in Amsterdam in 1660. In the 1660s De Hooch began painting for wealthy Amsterdam patrons enriched by trade and the stock exchange in a time of unrivalled prosperity.

Buries two of his children
Burial records for two of De Hooch's children, in June 1663 and March 1665, show the family living on the Regulierspad and the Engelspad, outside the old city walls among the city's poorest inhabitants — in sharp contrast to the homes of his affluent clients.
1667
Death of his wife
The painter's wife died at the age of 38, leaving him to care for a young family; the loss seriously affected his state of mind and his work.
