He was probably at Haarlem part of the time and at The Hague part of the time, In 1667 he paid his rent--only twenty-nine florins--with three pictures "painted well as he was able".

Margaretta died in 1669--a merry large woman we must suppose her from her appearance in Jan's pictures, and the mother of four or five children who may often be seen in the same scenes.

Jan married again in 1673 and died in 1697.
He was buried in St.Peter's Church, Leyden, leaving more than five hundred pictures to his name.

The youth who, in the absence of the koster, accompanied me through St.Peter's Church, so far from knowing where Jan Steen was buried, had never even heard his name.

(And at the Western Church in Amsterdam, where Rembrandt is said to have been buried, his resting-place cannot be pointed out.
