Early 20th century oil on canvas by Swedish painter Per Collijn (1878-1961), inspired by David Teniers the Younger's "Tavern Scene with Pipe-smokers" (1610-1690). The scene shows common folk relaxing in a tavern, naturally separating into two gatherings around different tables - one group smoking pipes and drinking ale, the other concentrating on a card game. The painting employs the warm color scheme favored by old Flemish artists, punctuated by deliberate touches of brighter hues, and sunlight angles through the windows to bathe the room. The work fully reflects the particular skills of Teniers, while retaining its individual imprint thanks to Collijn's interpretation. Collectors who appreciate Flemish genre painting will find this piece particularly appealing.
