Description
The Marriage Bed of Tobias and Sarah by Jan Steen depicts a couple in a bedchamber, with attendants and symbolic figures around them. Pale sheets and richly colored garments stand against the dark interior, while a figure near the bed gestures toward the pair. The painting is recreated as a hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction; it focuses on the central bed, surrounding figures and contrasting textures of cloth and shadow.
