title: Beware of Luxury
text: Beware of Luxury is a 1663 oil painting by the Dutch painter Jan Steen, now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The painting depicts a disorderly household given over to licentious or improper behavior. In this context, the word luxury in the title implies excess or self-indulgence. The individuals, mostly up to no good, are assembled in the composition in a roughly triangular formation, fronted by the obviously loose-living young woman smiling flirtatiously at the viewer.
