A man in a hat sits in a chair holding a letter, while a young girl stands beside him and looks at us. Jan Steen painted it in 1655, and the man is Adriaan van der Werff, the mayor of Delft.

J
Jan Steen was a Dutch painter born in Leiden in 1626. He painted lively, messy family scenes and parties full of jokes and lessons, so much that a messy home is called a Jan Steen household in Dutch. He died in 1679.
