"The Lovesick Maiden" (ca. 1660) is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steen, renowned for his humorous and moralistic depictions of everyday life in the 17th century. The painting portrays a young woman suffering from lovesickness, a common theme in Dutch literature and art of the time, which was often used to explore the emotional and physical maladies believed to be caused by unrequited love.

In this work, Steen combines his characteristic wit with a compassionate portrayal of the maiden's plight. The scene is set in a domestic interior, where the central figure, the lovesick maiden, is attended by a doctor who is taking her pulse, suggesting the belief that love could affect the physical well-being of an individual. The surroundings are rich with symbolic elements and details that provide insight into the narrative and the moral message Steen may have intended.

The painting is executed in Steen's signature style, characterized by a warm palette, lively brushwork, and keen observation of human character. "The Lovesick Maiden" not only exemplifies Steen's skill in storytelling through art but also serves as a valuable document of the cultural and social attitudes of his time. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of 17th-century Dutch society.

As with many of Steen's paintings, "The Lovesick Maiden" is appreciated for its ability to engage the viewer on multiple levels, from its aesthetic qualities to its narrative complexity and the psychological depth of its characters. The painting remains a significant example of Jan Steen's oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its rich depiction of human experience.
