Gillis van Tilborgh
Peasants smoking and drinking - Gillis van Tilborgh (c. 1625 - 1678)

About the Item

Oil on panel Signed lower right At the forefront, a child barely reaching the height of the table, sits upon a modest chair, engaged in her simple meal. Her youthful visage captivates her innocence, raising a spoon to her lips while a bowl rests on her lap. Adjacent to her, two men find solace in camaraderie, their presence etched in detail. One adorned with a striking red vest, holds a glass. He is beaming with delight, enraptured by the lively narrative spun by his companion This companion in turn, tends to his pipe, perhaps refilling it. In the background we can see figures both seated and standing, they can be seen while they are conversing and smoking their pipes. Gillis van Tilborgh was a Flemish painter who worked in various genres including portraits, low-life and elegant genre paintings and paintings of picture galleries. In his tavern scenes he shows himself to be a close follower of Adriaen Brouwer, just as David Ryckaert III and Joos van Craesbeeck were.

  • Study of a dog
    Located in Amsterdam, NL
    Study of a dog Oil on paper laid down on panel, 17.5 x 25.5 cm Provenance Private collection, the Netherlands Note: We are grateful to Mr Fred Meijer for his attribution to Ludolf de Jongh Ludolf de Jongh was the son of a shoemaker. When his father moved to Rotterdam, the young Ludolf decided to learn art rather than shoemaking and became a pupil of Cornelis Saftleven. Later he studied under Anthony Palamedes in Delft and still later with Jan van Bijlert in Utrecht. In 1635 he travelled to France with Francis Bacon. Seven years later, in 1642, he returned to the Netherlands when he heard that his mother had fallen ill. He set up a shop in Rotterdam, and his earliest signed paintings date from that year. According to Houbraken, his travels had caused him to speak French so fluently, that his parents had to learn French in order to speak with him. De Jongh’s work shows a strong influence from the Utrecht school of Caravaggio admirers, especially Jacob Duck...
