About the piece
Painted in 1645 by Isaac van Ostade, this oil on panel work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age interest in everyday life and rural activity. The composition features workmen unloading barrels from a horse-drawn sled, surrounded by various villagers and livestock, all rendered with a masterful sense of texture and depth.
