About the piece
Painted in 1661 by the renowned Jan Steen, this bustling scene brings to life the Dutch proverb 'As the old sing, so the young pipe.' With Steen's signature wit, the painting depicts a multigenerational family gathered around a table in a warm interior, celebrating with music, wine, and festive chaos.
