About Artwork: (1653) "Adriaen van Ostade specialised in painting dimly lit rooms, often belonging to an inn, peopled by ‘low-life’ characters, their features and poses grotesquely caricatured. In some, battered furniture and broken crockery suggest the bar-room brawls that van Ostade also sometimes portrayed. The room in this picture is drab, but while the fireplace is empty and the lighting dingy, the relationship between the small foreground group seems companionable. Behind them, another group enjoys the music of the hurdy-gurdy man. Van Ostade may have been a student of Frans Hals, together with Adriaen Brouwer, a young Flemish painter, though their work shows little of Hals’s influence. Rather, they both developed a similar style, delighting in robust – and in some cases, raunchy – scenes of peasant life." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
