Hendrick van der Burgh

He is considered part of the Delft School, although his artistic output was relatively small, he is known for prints and portraits, with the monogram "HVB".

The Van der Burgh family lived in Honselaarsdijk at the time of Hendrick's birth and moved to Voorburg in 1633.

Sources describe Van der Burgh's painting as being heavily dependent on the work of other Dutch artists, particularly Pieter de Hooch.

One source notes that Van der Burgh's outdoor scenes are "unthinkable without the inspiration of De Hooch's .

De Hooch's influence can be found in Van der Burgh's A Woman and Child at a Window, noting similarities in the "careful perspectival construction and contre-jour lighting".

However, this source also notes that the niche motif and still life details in this piece may have been inspired by paintings that Van der Burgh saw after he moved to Leiden.

One source describes Van der Burgh's style as "eclectic", "derivative rather than original", and "charming".
