About this work

This painting shows a scene outside an inn, with three people standing near a table. A woman in a white headscarf and pink dress is holding a jug and reaching out to take coins from a man in a yellow tunic and red hat. Another man, dressed in black, stands to the side, holding a long pole. The woman's dress and headscarf are detailed, with folds and textures visible. The background shows the inn's facade, with a sign reading "Inn of Westerlo" and a few trees. The sky above is blue-green. Look up the artist, Goswin van der Weyden, to learn more about his work.
