Peasant Settling his Debt

Adriaen van Ostade

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a scene titled "Peasant Settling his Debt" by Adriaen van Ostade. The scene shows a group of people in a dimly lit interior. There are six people in the room, all dressed in simple clothing. A woman is bent over near the center, and a man stands to her left. To their right, a man sits on a low chair and another man stands behind him. A fifth man sits at a table near the back, and a sixth person is partially obscured. The room has a stone floor and a large fireplace. There are two windows with leaded glass panes on the left wall. The ceiling is made of wood and slopes upward. The overall atmosphere appears to be one of a rustic, rural setting.
