The second venue of the Wheelock/Duparc retrospective. Two additional paintings — The Milkmaid and The Love Letter, both from the Rijksmuseum — were added in The Hague, bringing the total to twenty-two; the Royal Collection’s Music Lesson, hung in Washington, did not travel to the Mauritshuis. The show drew lines around the block.
