Soldier paying a landlady in an inn

Hello everyone, my name is Isabella! Welcome to this exciting museum! Today, we're going to be detectives and solve the mystery of this painting. nn Look at this painting! It's called "Soldier Paying a Landlady in an Inn." Can you say that three times fast? Just kidding! But can you find the soldier in the painting? That's right, he's the man in the uniform! What do you think he's doing? nn The man in the painting is paying the nice lady for his stay at her inn. An inn is like a hotel where people used to stay when they traveled. Do you see how the artist used bright colors for the lady's skirt and the soldier's pants? That's to help them stand out! nn Now, let's look at the people in the back. What are they doing? It looks like they're having a good time, maybe telling stories and sharing a meal. The artist painted them a little blurry to show that they're far away. nn See how the light shines in from the window? It makes the room feel cozy and warm, doesn't it? The artist was very clever in using light to make the painting look so real. nn This painting is like a time machine! It shows us what life was like a long, long time ago. What other interesting things can you find in the painting?
