Rustic Concert with Pipe and Violin1635-37Oil on panel, 27 x 30 cm Museo del Prado, Madrid | ||
This work belongs to the so-called peasant interiors, one of the new genres of painting that emerged and developed in Flanders and Holland in the early seventeenth century. Popular themes are common in the extensive oeuvre of Adriaen van Ostade. Placing figures over a flat background is characteristic of his early works.
