Adriaen van Ostade's 1647 drawing "The Family" depicts a scene of daily life in a humble Dutch home. The composition, rendered in a loose, expressive style, captures the intimacy of a family gathered around a table. The artist, known for his depictions of peasant life, masterfully portrays the cramped space and the warmth of the family unit. The work exemplifies van Ostade's interest in genre painting, a style popular in 17th-century Dutch art, and his ability to capture the details and textures of everyday objects.
