Legend: HOLLAND, 17th CENTURY: THIS INTERESTING PICTURE IS is the joint work of Dirck Hals, who painted the people, and Van Dalen who painted the architecture. It represents one of the salons de conversation that were popular in 17th-century Flanders. These salons were held by fashionable women, and became places in which young people, intellectuals and members, of society could meet and exchange ideas. Both men and women were free to dress and talk as they wished, according to individual taste - though this would be tempered by the desire to please, whether with the latest, innovative fashions in dress or with fine conversation. The woman and the centre of the painting, and the one at the far right, are both wearing a unique item of costume. This is a corset with a wide ruff made from only one layer of material.
