Description:
David Teniers the Younger (after)
Out-gaping an Oven, 1800-1900
Oil on panel
248mm x 328mm
A male dark-haired figure in peasant-style clothes is sitting on a seat made from a barrel. He is leaning on his knees with both hands, while his mouth is wide open. In the background on the left is a brick oven with an arched opening, through which some pots can be observed. The scene depicts the Dutch proverb that it is folly 'to gape against an oven'.
Unlike his father, David Teniers the Younger specialized in peasant scenes in the style of Adriaen Brouwer. A prolific artist, he co-founded the Antwerp Academy and was Court Painter to the Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in Brussels. This copy is certainly not contemporary, but likely to date from the nineteenth century.
