The hand behind it
Jan Steen
Jan Steen painted the chaotic, funny side of Dutch life: families feasting, children misbehaving, doctors, drunkards and musicians. His scenes are crowded and colourful, full of small stories and moral jokes. Born in Leiden, he studied with Nicolaes Knupfer and Adriaen van Ostade and with Jan van Goyen, whose daughter he married. He worked in The Hague, Delft, Haarlem and Leiden, and for a time ran a tavern. He painted around 800 pictures, of which about 350 survive. In Dutch “a Jan Steen household” still means a messy home. The Feast of Saint Nicholas and The Merry Family are in the Rijksmuseum. A Burgher of Delft and His Daughter shows his quieter side, with fine detail and clear light.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get The Dissolute Household in a different size or shape?
Yes. The Dissolute Household is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in). The original measures 108 x 90.2 cm (42.5 x 35.5 in).
