From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Inn is a 1648 ink by Cornelis Pietersz Bega, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a lively scene of people gathered in an inn, with a woman sitting on a bench in the foreground. She is wearing a long dress and has her head turned to the side, while a man stands behind her, wearing a hat and holding a cup. Another man sits on the floor, looking up at the woman. The atmosphere is cozy, with a sense of warmth and camaraderie among the group. The etching technique used to create the image adds a sense of texture and depth to the scene.
