- Drawing on Door captures a flirtatious encounter between a young man and woman. The peaceful setting, traditional clothing, and woman's tender skepticism impart a sentimental tone on the painting. Genre paintings that show scenes of everyday life have been a popular subject throughout history. They were especially fashionable around the time of the Industrial Revolution because they presented a romantic view of the past during a time of rapid change.
