The Inn, a print by Dutch artist Cornelis Bega (1631-1664), depicts a dimly lit tavern scene. A group of figures are seated around a table, engaged in conversation and enjoying drinks. Bega was known for his genre paintings and etchings, often capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people. This print captures the casual atmosphere of a tavern, with the figures dressed in simple attire and the setting suggesting a working-class establishment. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and dark, creates a sense of intimacy and realism.
