About this work
This painting, titled The Famished People after the Relief of the Siege of Leiden and attributed to Otto van Veen, shows a crowded city street lined with tall brick and stepped-gable houses. Townspeople in period dress press together and reach out, while figures kneel on the ground beside baskets of bread, and a column of smoke rises beyond a distant bridge.
