# Carousing Peasants in a Tavern [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [OSTADE, Adriaen Jansz. van]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 29 x 36 cm ## Commentary Carousing Peasants in a Tavern c. 1635 Oil on oak panel, 29 x 36 cm Alte Pinakothek, Munich Around 1625, Adriaen van Ostade painted several works including the present painting, which is generally regarded as a high point in his early career. These works are clearly indebted to the peasant scenes of Adriaen Brouwer who had been Van Ostade's fellow pupil in the studio of Frans Hals. Yet from the start Van Ostade chose to transform Brouwer's rawness and aggressiveness into a more polished image, which was satirical at first but, as his career evolved, gradually became more peaceful and bucolic. ## Related artworks - [A Fight]() - [A Man With Pince-Nez \(The Sense of Sight\)]() - [Alchemist]() - [Barber Extracting of Tooth]() - [Brawl]() - [Comedian Reading in a Tavern]() - [Cutting the Feather]() - [Feasting Peasants in a Tavern]() - [Flute Player]() - [Inn Scene]() - [Interior of a Farmhouse with Skaters]() - [Interior of a Tavern with Violin Player]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
