Interpretation
In this piece from Jan Steen, a woman sits on her bed with a rather suggestive look while putting on her stocking. The woman is facing the viewer, which in the case of the painting, could mean a man looking at her through the doorway. She has a stare across her face, with no desire to cover up her legs with her dress or her partially exposed breast with her jacket. Her slight smile and risqué position gives off the possible notion for hedonistic pleasures. The open curtains around her bed also play into the inviting theme, something that was very private for women of this time. The woman’s chamber pot is seen on the floor by the bed, which supplies the name for this work.

The bedroom doorway of the woman has a very stable appearance of marble stone. The columns on each side have Steen’s name and the year of the painting, with the appearance of it being carved into them.
