About The Merry Family: Jan Steen's The Merry Family (1668) shows a lively household where music, laughter, and play bring together multiple generations. At the table, adults sing and strum while children enthusiastically join in, echoing the behavior of their elders. A dog sniffs around the floor and dishes lie scattered, adding to the sense of bustling disorder. Above the fireplace hangs a verse, “As the old sing, so shall the young twitter,” underscoring the theme of imitation between generations. Steen himself appears as the bagpipe player, a humorous self-portrait woven into the merriment. The work sparkles with detail and gesture, balancing warmth with subtle satire. In its lively storytelling, the painting celebrates family bonds while hinting at the lessons they pass along. // Image Credit: Jan Havicksz. Steen, 1668, The Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

The king eider spends most of the year in coastal marine ecosystems at high latitudes, and migrates to Arctic tundra to breed in June and July. It is a large sea duck, measuring 50–70 cm (20–28 in) in length with a wingspan of 86–102 cm (34–40 in). The male is unmistakable with its mostly black body, buff-tinged white breast and multicolored head. The head, nape and neck are a pale bluish grey. The cheek is pale green. The bill, separated from the face by a thin black line, is red with a white nail and a large, distinctive yellow knob. This puzzle is based on an illustration from Birds of America (1827) by John James Audubon.
