Steen himself appears in the far left the composition, touching a woman's face. Raised by a family of brewers and tavern-keepers, he opened an inn of his own after the art market collapsed in 1672, but is said to have spent his money too freely, and imbibed of his own inventory too often, to have been a great success. For all their trademark liveliness, Steen's paintings are known for their psychological insight and moralizing messages. In The Dancing Couple soap bubbles, cut flowers and egg shells serve as reminders of the transience of life. Is Steen issuing an invitation to enjoy life's sensual pleasures while they last, or a warning not to while away one's time in idle pursuits?
