Love Sickness 1660

Jan Steen's 1660 painting, "Love Sickness," depicts a scene of a woman reclining on a bed, likely ill, with a man examining her pulse. The painting is a typical example of Steen's genre painting style, which often featured scenes of everyday life in 17th-century Dutch society. The painting is also known for its rich detail, including the figures' clothing, the furniture in the room, and the dog in the foreground. The work is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
