Oil on copper. Most prominent of Old Master Flemish artists , the younger Teniers II. Influenced by Van Ostade,by far, his most successful and sought after are his scenes of local and regional taverns, both inside and out, with seated men at a table, smoking and gambling, often including a pottery jug or drinking vessels, a dog and a serving woman. He was practitioner and follower of a Northern School practice by a few of these early old masters, that of crafting a limited number of reduced size oils on generally copper, painting such after his most popular originals and larger oils on wood panel. This completely original oil on copper is by the artist, never in the hands of a gallery, completely untouched, never cleaned and in fine original condition. This, another from our octogenarian's collections, 62 years of mostly all unseen and more serious art properties.
