About the piece

Painted in 1648, this masterful genre work by David Teniers the Younger depicts a spirited scene within a rustic tavern. In the foreground, a group congregates around a small table to share a ham dinner, while in the expansive space beyond, figures dance to the music of a bagpiper, illustrating the vibrant social life of the 17th-century Low Countries.
