About the piece

Painted in 1663 by Jan Steen, this work depicts a woman at her morning toilet, framed by an illusionistic stone archway decorated with classical motifs. The scene captures the tactile richness of a seventeenth-century Dutch interior, contrasting the soft textures of the velvet-draped bed and silk clothing with the cold precision of the architectural surround.
