Country Inn 1690

"Country Inn" (1690) by Dutch painter Cornelis Dusart depicts a bustling scene outside a country inn. The painting, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Dusart's talent for capturing everyday life in 17th-century Dutch society. The composition focuses on a couple seated in the foreground, while a lively crowd fills the inn's courtyard, creating a sense of community and social interaction. Dusart's attention to detail, from the clothing of the figures to the architecture of the inn, imbues the scene with a sense of authenticity.
