462
This 1624–25 painting by Adriaen Brouwer depicts a lively tavern scene with peasants drinking, smoking, and playing cards, reflecting 17th-century Flemish peasant life. It exemplifies genre art, which portrays everyday scenes. Brouwer’s work, known for caricatures, appealed to wealthy Dutch townspeople. The inn served as a hub for peasant revelry in the Dutch Republic.
