About the piece
Painted in 1661 by Jan Steen, this masterpiece captures the chaotic joy of a Dutch Twelfth Night celebration. Known for his keen observational humor, Steen populates the scene with a variety of character studies—including the 'Bean King' raising his glass—amidst a richly detailed domestic interior filled with the earthy realism of 17th-century life.
