The Singer

The Singer by Adriaen van Ostade: A black-and-white etching of three people in a room. A woman sits at a table on the left, wearing a headscarf and dress, looking down at an open book. A man sits on the right, wearing a hat, shirt, shorts, and socks, holding a wine glass. A woman stands behind them, wearing a headscarf and a wide-brimmed hat, holding a candle. A jug sits on the floor beside the table. The room has wooden floors and dark walls. The people are indoors, and the man appears to be the main subject.
