The Singers at the Window 1667

"The Singers at the Window" (1667) by Adriaen van Ostade, is a small-scale painting depicting four figures gathered at a window, lit by a single candle. The scene is intimate and casual, capturing a moment of everyday life in 17th-century Dutch society. Van Ostade was known for his genre paintings, which often depicted scenes of peasant life, and "The Singers at the Window" is a fine example of his work. This painting can now be found in the Brooklyn Museum, New York.
