# Smokers in an Interior [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TENIERS, David the Younger]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on panel, 39 x 37 cm ## Commentary Smokers in an Interior c. 1637 Oil on panel, 39 x 37 cm Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid Adriaen Brouwer's work influenced artists such as Jan Steen and David Teniers the Younger, although their tavern scenes have a more light-hearted and relaxed character than those of Brouwer. Teniers focused on the depiction of everyday scenes and interiors, to which he applied his marvellous powers of description. Smokers in an Interior is highly realistic, both in the representation of the figures and in the humble and unrefined setting; the artist delights in reproducing such objects as the pitcher, the mortar and the flagon in the foreground. ## Related artworks - [A Barn Interior]() - [A Cobbler in his Workshop]() - [A View of Het Sterckshof near Antwerp]() - [Apes in the Kitchen]() - [Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery]() - [Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria in his Gallery]() - [Before the Inn]() - [Card Players]() - [Country Kermis]() - [Countryside Inn with Revellers \(detail\)]() - [Countryside Inn with Revellers]() - [Dulle Griet \(Mad Meg\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
