About the piece
This 1650 oil painting by Christiaen van Couwenbergh captures a baker in a moment of spirited action, blowing a horn to signal his arrival. The dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of the Dutch Caravaggesque style, highlights the textures of the woven basket and the golden crusts of the bread.
