The Dance in the Inn
A fiddler plays and the whole barn-like inn dances.
What
An etching of a crowded inn: couples dance in the middle of the floor, drinkers sit by the hearth, and a ladder climbs to the loft.
Why
Ostade etched it in 1652; the Cleveland Museum of Art holds this impression (1943.608), CC0.
Notice
Hats and baskets hang from every beam overhead.
“Ostade’s inn holds a whole village in one room.”
