A Scene from the Comedy De ontdekte schijndeugd (pretended Virtue Exposed) by Cornelius Troost (1696-1750) pastel and gouache, 1743. Geertruy pretends to be inconsolable on the departure of her husband and his servant. However, the gesture her maidservant makes indicates that Geertruy is cuckolding him: Volkert, her young lover, is at the ready, waiting in the background. Troost was one of the first artists to combine pastel and gouache in such a beautiful and balanced manner.
