ADRIAEN VAN OSTADE (HAARLEM 1610-HAARLEM 1685)
The Interior of a Peasant's Cottage
RCIN 404814
In this interior, Ostade combines the comedy of rustic simplicity with the lighting and meticulous finish of Gerrit Dou. The painting makes us wonder that a cottage could hold so much, and that an artist could have the skill and patience to record it so faithfully.
Acquired by George IV in 1811
