EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 17th century, showcasing the laborious task of a woman scouring metalware. Painted by Jan Havicksz. Steen during the Dutch Golden Age, this oil on panel artwork measures 24.5x20 cm and is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The image transports us to a utility room where we witness domesticity at its finest. The woman diligently works with her broom and cleaning tools, focusing her attention on an assortment of metal objects including barrels, lanterns, spoons, and cutlery. This glimpse into everyday life during the Baroque period highlights the importance placed on cleanliness and orderliness within Dutch households. The composition exudes a sense of realism as it showcases not only the physical labor involved but also hints at societal hierarchies through subtle details such as servant-like attire worn by the woman. As we delve into this painting's intricate details, we are transported back to a time when manual work was essential for maintaining household functionality. Steen's masterful brushstrokes bring life to each object depicted in this artwork while capturing light and shadow playfully dancing across surfaces. Through this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, viewers can appreciate both the artistic skill behind it and gain insight into daily life during one of history's most prosperous periods - The Dutch Golden Age.
