Der liederliche Haushalt is a 1665 paint by Jan Steen, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting depicts a lively scene of a woman reclining in a chair, surrounded by people and food. The woman is dressed in a white headscarf and a blue and white dress, with her right arm raised and holding a glass. The room is filled with various objects, including a table with a white cloth, a basket of fruit, and a book. In the background, several people are engaged in different activities, such as playing cards or drinking. The atmosphere appears to be one of revelry and celebration. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the woman.
Jan Havickszoon Steen was a Dutch Golden Age painter, one of the leading genre painters of the 17th century.
