Following Rubens's death in 1640, Jordaens was regarded as the greatest living painter in the Southern Netherlands. Deeply influenced by Rubens, Jordaens created genre scenes characterized by an often candid realism. This study from life depicts a figure familiar from other drawings and paintings by the artist from around 1640.
