by Jan Steen
Dutch artist Jan Steen painted this portrait of a Delft merchant with his daughter. The well-dressed pair represents the prosperous Dutch middle class of the Golden Age. Steen, usually known for rowdy genre scenes, here shows his range.
The figures appear on steps before their home, receiving a beggar. The painting explores charity and social status. This work hangs at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
