About the piece
Created around 1650, this oil painting by Adriaen van Ostade captures the vibrant, if rowdy, atmosphere of a 17th-century Dutch inn. The composition uses deep shadows and warm highlights to focus on a group of peasants engaged in conversation and drink, featuring a moment of slapstick comedy as a man loses his balance in the foreground.
