omg, what an incredible answer!
Some of these are amazing.
I feel like i need to hang more than the one i planned; turning my little flat into a tiny gallery ^^
No seriously. Great suggestions!
I especially like "The Broken Eggs", "Hip, Hip, Hurrah!" and "Gin Lane" ๐
Hip, Hip, Hurrah! comes from a Norwegian-Dutch painter that makes fantastic captures of life "as it is" in my opinion. Not what you've asked but this is a favorite of mine: https://www.wikiart.org/en/peder-severin-kroyer/in-the-store-during-a-pause-from-fishing-1882
Plus anything on the beach is fantastic from this author.
Jan Steen (the author from The Broken Eggs) has a deep repertoire of people just "cooked", having great fun, with lots of color.
If you enjoyed Gin Lane, you could also pair it with "Beer Street", from the same author: https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/art-artists/work-of-art/beer-street-1
Basically this author thought that Beer is great, but Gin is rubbish, and his depiction of both are fantastic. Plus, as any interior designer worth their salt would say, "it's a conversation piece". ;)
