Young Man and Woman in an Inn (Yonker Ramp and His Sweetheart) 1623

Frans Hals’ *Young Man and Woman in an Inn (Yonker Ramp and His Sweetheart)* depicts a boisterous scene of two revelers enjoying a drink in an inn. This painting is a prime example of the Dutch Golden Age genre of *genre painting*, capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people. The energetic brushstrokes and loose style give the figures a sense of movement and life, reflecting the lively atmosphere of the inn. The painting, created in 1623, is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
