The Inn

Cornelis Bega

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three people in a dimly lit interior setting. The primary figure is a woman seated in the center of the composition. Her body is shown from head to knee, sitting upright, with her head slightly bowed and turned to the left. She wears a long, flowing dress with ample fabric that folds and gathers around her. Next to her, on her right, is a man standing and bending slightly towards her. To the woman's left is another man, crouching and holding a bowl and a spoon. The scene is set in a rustic room or attic, with visible beams and a dark background. The table in front of them is covered with a cloth and holds a jar and a piece of bread.
