The Tavern, Abraham Diepraam, 1665

oil on canvas, h 46cm × w 52cm × d 7.5cm More details

Merriment reigns in this tavern. Abraham Diepraam specialized in these kinds of popular and humorous scenes. While his personages are coarsely mannered and raffish, his brushwork in contrast is precise and refined. The grimacing heads are shrewdly observed. A subtle detail is the reflection of the glass on the table.
