About the piece
Painted around 1660 by Jan Steen, this work depicts a scene from Aesop's fables where a satyr is astonished by a man's ability to blow hot and cold with the same breath. The composition showcases Steen's characteristic skill in capturing human expression and texture, from the rough wooden furniture and brick hearth to the delicate highlights on the ceramic bowls and the luminous shawl of the central figure.
