_Hendrick Sorgh_ (Dutch: 1611-1670).
Hendrick Rokes, a painter of Rotterdam, was the son of Martin
Rokes, the master of the passage-boat from Rotterdam to
Dordrecht. On account of his care and attention to passengers,
Martin acquired the appellation of Sorgh, or Careful; the name
descended to and was adopted by the son. Having shown an early
talent for art, Hendrick was sent to Antwerp, where he was
placed under the tuition of the younger Teniers. His style,
however, rather recalls that of Adrian Brouwer. He painted
Biblical subjects in a familiar manner, indoor scenes of humble
life, village fairs, and, later, river and sea views. Some of
his best works are in the Dresden Gallery.
The game rests with the woman, who is not going to play, it would seem,
till the score is settled.
