Alegre companhia em um terraço

Jan Steen Dutch
ca. 1670
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 637
Nesta obra tardia, pintada em aproximadamente 1673–1675, Steen se apresenta como o estalajadeiro bêbado que vemos à esquerda. A segunda esposa do pintor, Maria, foi provavelmente o modelo para a provocativa anfitriã no centro da cena. Sua taça e o jarro do homem corpulento são sexualmente sugestivos, mas a familiaridade da mulher com o jovem músico e a forma do instrumento de cordas indicam que o último tem algo mais a oferecer. A elegante indumentária da criança é um comentário marginal sobre a conduta dos adultos; o cavalo atrelado e o chicote geralmente simbolizam temperança.
