Dusart’s earliest dated work was produced in the year he completed his studies with Adriaen van Ostade (1610-1685). It is based on a drawing by his teacher which typically shows a peasant scene. A travelling milk seller, with a yoke across her back, fills a bowl from her tub. She is watched by three generations of a family, including a girl with her doll and a boy with a hoop. Dusart, however, pays equal attention to the cottage’s picturesque quality with its variously textured walls and wooden accretions. Inscriptions / Translations: Signed and dated l.r.: K.
