Description: | Drinking scenes were one of the favourite subjects of the Belgian artist David Teniers the Younger. The features of the group of figures around the table in this scene are very finely detailed. Light from the side doorway creates highlights and shadows, giving solidity to the figures. Careful use of varied shades of brown and grey creates a harmonious composition. The finely painted stoneware jugs, glass, and other objects are typical features of this kind of subject. Teniers' paintings were immensely popular in his own time and with 19th century British collectors. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists oil paintings art glass other cultures ceramics | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
