"Man betaalt zijn kosten aan vrouw in een herberg" (Man Pays His Costs to a Woman in an Inn) is an etching by Dutch Golden Age artist Adriaen van Ostade, dating from 1647-1684. The artwork depicts a scene of everyday life in a tavern, capturing a moment of casual interaction between a man and a woman. Ostade's keen observation of detail and his use of chiaroscuro lighting create a sense of realism and depth, placing the viewer in the middle of a lively scene.
