About the piece

Attributed to David Teniers the Younger, this late 17th-century oil on panel illustrates a quintessential scene of Flemish pastoral life. Figures converse outside a simple cottage while an expansive sky with billowing, sun-lit clouds dominates the upper composition, lending an atmospheric and airy quality to the modest rural subject.
