About the piece
Painted around 1670 by the renowned Jan Steen, this masterpiece of the Dutch Golden Age depicts a rowdy group as they disembark from their boat near a riverside tavern. Steen’s celebrated talent for narrative detail is on full display here, capturing various characters—from a nursing mother to a flute-playing boy—with a warm palette and atmospheric lighting that perfectly evokes the era's character-driven genre painting.
