Genre paintings are mostly small works, depicting the simple daily lives of small people in middle-class families. They are neither sentimental nor artificial. Most of the works were drawn from indoor scenes and middle-class families, and were described in a calm and realistic manner, which was contrary to the mainstream of painting at the time.
