This work is not recorded prior to the mid-18th century. It has been suggested that the signature is not above suspicion, but there is no reason to doubt the attribution to Teniers. The handling of the paint is comparable to that in his ' Boors Carousing' in the Wallace Collection, London, which is dated 1644. This work may have been painted a little later. Tavern scenes of this sort, & more specifically the pose of the peasant raising his glass, may derive from the work of Adriaen Brouwer. ...
The subject of this portrait is unidentified, but he wears expensive clothes with different types of fur & velvet & two gold rings. His gloves also indicate high status. The portrait is unusually small & seems to have been speedily painted with immense skill. This may suggest neither artist nor sitter had very much time to spare. The back of the panel is branded with the letters CR surmounted by a crown, which signifies that the work belonged to King Charles I. ...
The unknown sitter, who holds an antique statuette, is probably a collector or connoisseur. The portrait was probably painted by a Genoese artist in the first part of the 17th century. The artist has paid particular attention to the way the light falls on ...
This is a 19th century imitation by León of a 17th century painting. It is based on a life-size picture of a dwarf in the manner of Velázquez which is in the Prado, Madrid.

The attribution depends on Charles Terry, who wrote in 1897 that he had been told by Ignacio de León that the painting was a pastiche León had painted after Velázquez & given to a dealer in London. ...
This figure seems to derive from the soldier saint at the left of the ' Madonna & Saints' by Giorgione in the Duomo at Castelfranco (his home town). The painting, which is first certainly recorded in the early 19th century, was for a long time considered ...
Meissonier painted numerous genre scenes with individuals in period costume. This is a typical example with the smoker shown in a modest interior with a tankard & a glass of beer. The wall behind is decorated with some unframed popular prints. ...
On the lower part of the bedpost is a carved Cupid which underlines the amorous nature of the encounter. This, & the offering of money, indicates that this is a brothel scene. Schalcken specialised in painting interiors lit by candlelight. This painting was made when Schalcken was working in Dordrecht. It is painted in a highly finished style which Schalcken had learnt in the studio of Gerrit Dou. ...
Ter Brugghen adopted the subject of flamboyantly dressed half-length figures playing musical instruments from the work of Caravaggio & his immediate Roman followers. This type of picture of a life-size, half-length figure playing a musical instrument be ...
