Interior with a woman feeding a parrot, known as 'The Parrot Cage', Jan Havicksz. Steen, c. 1660 - c. 1670 oil on canvas on panel, h 50cm × w 40cm. The wealth of motifs and comic incursions in Jan Steen's paintings often makes one forget how much flair they were painted with. Steen's mastery lies as much in the delicate colour combinations as in the rendering of all kinds of materials. This painting is composed of drab colours; only the woman in the middle is dressed in fine nuances of violet and green.
