Alexander Hugo Bakker Korff (1824 – 1882), was a Dutch painter of genre scenes in the 19th century.
Korff is best known for his scenes of women in domestic situations. This one shows a woman rummaging around in a rag basket for making a patchwork quilt. This painting is quite small: 21 cm (8.2 in) by 16 cm (6.2 in).
This painting is called the Secondhand Dealer, and it's about 5 x 7 inches.
This one is called "Under the Palm."
Two prosperous women listen in reverie as another woman plays a romantic tune.
Probably most of his inspiration came from Gerard Dou and Gabriël Metsu, who lived in his town of Leyden. His scenes are also reminiscent of Ernest Meissonier and Norman Rockwell, with frontal lighting, a stage-like space, fine detail, old fashioned setting, and a charming human situation.
Two women say grace over a luncheon of soup on an October day, and one of them has her dog in a basket.
