About this work

This painting shows a still life of household items and a young boy washing a bowl. The boy is sitting on the floor, wearing a brown tunic and white stockings. He is holding a large bowl in his lap and washing it with water from a smaller bowl. The still life includes various items such as a large jug, a white cloth, and a broom. The items are arranged on a wooden barrel, with some of them stacked on top of each other. The background of the painting is a plain wall, which helps to focus attention on the still life and the boy. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet activity, with the boy engaged in his task and the still life items arranged neatly around him. The artist who painted this scene is Jan Karel Verbrugge.
