tavern interior by follower of david teniers the younger 1610-1690

ORIGINALLY BELONGED TO THE DECEASED ESTATE OF EDWARD WARNER LEICESTERSHIRES
MASTER OF THE FAMOUS 'QUORN HUNT'.

This is a unique chance to acquire an early genre themed mid 17th.century oil on canvas in the baroque style, depicting peasants smoking and drinking in a tavern or ale house.The brief history known is that the painting was sold back in 1919 by Warner Shepherd and Wade Auctioneers,who held a countryhouse sale on site some years after the death of Edward Warner huntmaster back in 1911.All the house contents were sold off and I have the original catalogue of sale dated Tuesday 2nd. 3rd. and 4th.December 1919,where the painting has been listed.The frame is of the correct period being approx.1630-1670,and is in good solid condition.
The painting itself has been wax relined and was probably cleaned some years ago.There are no signs of any previous repairs and the surface colours look sharp,although the overall appearance is a little dark.
There is no obvious signature or date visable.The execution of the painting is extremely similar to works by artist David Teniers TheYounger, who was born in 1610 & died in 1690,but cannot be attributed to him in the absense of any signature or initials and has been described as by a follower of David Teniers The Younger.It is believed that this painting was sold last at the NEC in Birmingham back in the eighties for a considerable sum.Today such a painting could cost a small fortune if it were ever proven to be by one of the old masters,but in the absense of clear identification of the artist,it is to be offered at a sensible price reflecting all the circumstances.Similar style paintings do not seem to be available in the general market place today and only appear in museums or private collections.MEASUREMENTS: 36 X 30 Inches Inc.Frame
