Landscape with an Inn and Skittles is a 1656 oil by Jan Steen, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a lively scene outside an inn. People are gathered around, some playing skittles, while others sit and chat. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a few dogs and chickens roaming around. In the foreground, a man in a top hat is sitting on a bench, looking at the skittles players. The inn's building is on the left, with a tree in front of it. The sky is cloudy, with a few birds flying overhead. The artist who painted this scene was Jan Steen.
Jan Havickszoon Steen was a Dutch Golden Age painter, one of the leading genre painters of the 17th century.
