Een taveerne-interieur met mensen die drinken en muziek maken
Jan Steen brings the noise in this chaotic Baroque tavern scene, where the party has clearly spiraled out of control. A woman in a satin dress sings loudly with a glass in hand, while a musician strums a lute and another figure slumps asleep on the floor amidst scattered oyster shells. Steen actually ran a brewery and tavern for a time, so he knew this rowdy lifestyle firsthand! He was so famous for depicting these messy interiors that the Dutch still use the phrase 'a Jan Steen household' to describe a chaotic home today.
