About ‘Demonstration of Wax Figures, Jan Steen (follower of)’
Demonstration of Wax Figures, Follower of Jan Havicksz. Steen, possibly Richard Brakenburgh (1685)
Adults and children gaze in amazement at the contents of a cabinet containing wax figurines that a young man holds up for them to see. He is undoubtedly one of the Savoyards—natives of Savoy—who were well known as itinerant musicians (often seen with a hurdy-gurdy and a monkey) or, as in this case, showmen who demonstrated their tricks for a small fee. Although Savoyards generally had a bad reputation, no one in this crowd seems the least bit wary of his presence.
