A stoneware jug and a barrel stand in the foreground, a shelf with a candlestick and bottles runs along the wall behind, and further figures are glimpsed in the shadows beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subject – the amorous peasant and the old woman – is a well-known comic motif of 17th-century Flemish painting associated with David Teniers the Younger and his circle, and this picture is painted in that manner. The handling is confident, with the faces, hands and still-life details picked out against a warm brown ground in the classic low-country tavern palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe painting is unsigned. The canvas shows a fine network of age craquelure across the whole surface, consistent with a picture of considerable age; we would suggest an 18th- or 19th-century date and offer it as \u003cb\u003eDutch\/Flemish School, manner of Teniers\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is presented in a wide gilt and gesso moulded frame, with a framer’s label on the reverse for Vereker Picture Framing, Mallow, Co.
