About the piece

Painted in 1640 by Hendrik Potuyl, this work captures a moment of rustic stillness in a traditional stable. The composition artfully arranges everyday objects—from gleaming earthenware jugs and a copper basin to weathered wooden barrels—rendered in the deep tonal values and rich textures characteristic of 17th-century Dutch realism.
