]]> Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch painter of little known production. His works are generally small in size and intimate in atmosphere. He stands out for his mastery in the use of light and the realism in the details of these interiors (characters, furniture, clothing)

]]> Teniers the Younger depicts the typical scene of smokers in a tavern interior, following the models of Adriaen Brouwer. The artist repeats figures and details from other versions in the composition, with slight variations in the organisation of the space and the configuration of the figures. The villagers in the foreground show a harmonious colour scheme in their clothing. This group represents the different stages of the action, from the preparation to the act of smoking and the pleasure of doing so. Other frequent elements in compositions in this style are the sleeping dog and the pipe mouthpiece on the ground, as well as the exquisite detailing of the vessels and other utensils. The interest of Spanish kings in this type of painting was not only shown by Philip IV and Charles II, but also by the Bourbons of the 18th century, who continued to collect paintings by this artist.
