About the piece
Painted around 1662 by Jan Steen, this Dutch Golden Age masterpiece captures a quiet, contemplative moment. The woman's gentle expression and the warm, earthy tones of her dress create an inviting atmosphere, while the artist's masterful brushwork brings out the fine details of the cittern and her traditional attire, typical of Steen's domestic genre scenes.
