ISAAK VAN OSTADE (1621-169) THE HALT AT THE INN Panel, 24 1/2 inches by 20 1/4 inches
Travellers Halting at the Inn. "The Inn is on the right. Steps lead up to a balcony. Here a woman stands looking down on a company of peasants who sit drinking. A flute player, seen from the back and turned half-left, leans against the steps; a dog to the left barks at him. To the left of the house is a large tree. To the left of the drinkers is a high two-wheeled tilt-cart with a gray horse, which is a feeding at a trough, On the left, near the cart, are two men; a rider approaches from the left, where is a view of the distance, with a windmill and a house with a tower. A good and well-preserved picture in a warm brown tone."- Quoted from De Groot Signed at the lower right, "Isaac Ostade."
