A self-portrait by Dutch Golden Age painter Jan Steen, showing the artist playing a lute with a cheerful expression. The painting captures the textures of fabrics and the play of light on surfaces.
This self-portrait by Jan Steen (1626-1679), a Dutch Golden Age painter, presents the artist in a moment of relaxed conviviality. Steen, known for his genre scenes depicting everyday life, often incorporated himself and his family into his works. This painting, executed in oil on canvas, shows Steen seated and playing a lute, his face lit with a cheerful expression. He wears a red cap and elaborate clothing, indicative of his status as an artist. The composition is informal, with Steen's figure dominating the frame. A table to his right holds a pewter jug and papers, suggesting a setting of artistic creation and leisure. The background is dark and indistinct, drawing attention to the artist's figure and the lute. Steen's style is characterised by its lively brushwork and attention to detail, capturing the textures of fabrics and the play of light on surfaces. The painting reflects the Dutch interest in portraiture and the depiction of everyday life during the 17th century.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
