This baker’s couple from Leiden proudly proffer their freshly baked loaves and rolls. An old inscription on the back of the painting gives their names. The boy is also mentioned: he is the painter’s son. He may blow the horn to let people know the bread is ready. Jan Steen combined several genres in a single painting – it serves as a family portrait, a still life of bread, and a portrayal of a profession all at once.
