De vrolijke boer (easel painting (painting by form); Adriaen van Ostade (Haarlem 1610 - Haarlem 1685-04-28); 1630/1650; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); SK-A-302; RM001.collect.4904)

Note: A small, wooden panel showing a laughing peasant painted by Adriaen van Ostade. Van Ostade made numerous paintings and drawings of peasant life. He often portrayed a group of peasants in a parlour or tavern. This jolly individual - judging by the beer mug in his hand - could also be at an inn of some sort. Van Ostade has captured the facial expression well: the broad, smiling mouth, the round cheeks and the half-closed, laughing eyes. The use of colour is limited, almost monochrome: different tones of brown, grey and ochre. These are indications that this is an early work by the artist. The striped relief in the paint clearly reveals the picture to be painted on wood.
