About the piece
Created around 1620 by Nicolas Régnier, this oil-on-canvas work is a masterful example of the Caravaggesque style. The composition uses intense contrasts of light and shadow to heighten the drama of a simple genre scene, focusing on the textures of the figures' garments and the mischievous expression of the young woman.
