About the piece

Created in 1667, this oil on panel by Adriaen van Ostade is a classic example of Dutch genre painting. It captures three farmers in a moment of spirited leisure, their faces expressive and full of character as they smoke clay pipes and share drinks in the warm, shadowed interior of a tavern.
