Travellers outside an Inn

Isack vanĀ Ostade
1646

789 - zaal 14

A motley company have gathered outside the inn. Men are sitting or lying on the grass, relaxed and chatting together. A woman is sitting high atop the wagon looking down at the beggar nearby, while a cripple propels himself along the road with blocks of wood.

Isack van Ostade specialised in this sort of peasant scene. He was the younger brother of Adriaen van Ostade.
