Jan Miense Molenaer was a Dutch painter, among the exponents of the period known as the Golden Age. His work, which unfolded between his hometown of Haarlem and Amsterdam, was influenced by encounters with painters such as Rembrandt and Frans Hals. His style, initially close to that of Hals but later, more specifically during his time in Amsterdam, closer to that of painters such as Adriaen van Ostade and Adriaen Brouwer, is characterized by a pronounced realism and a lenticular rendering of the gestures and physiognomies of the individuals depicted. A genre painter, he depicted mainly musicians, but also many tavern scenes, religious scenes, and portraits. Molenaer was a learned painter, and his iconographies often turn out to be inspired by the proverbs and poems of Jacob Cats and Gerbrand Adriaensz. Equally evident are works that allude to the five senses. His works are exhibited in Amsterdam, Berlin, Braunschweig, Budapest, Copenhagen, Krakow, Florence, Ghent, Manchester, Paris, Seattle, Stockholm, and Vienna.
The canvas in question displays all the key characteristics of this author's production: the predilection for depicting colorful tavern scenes, the great importance given to the luministic dimension and to the datum of light refraction on the faces of the patrons and on the dress of the lady, the construction of a crowded scene within which characters of different social classes and from different realities meet and converse with each other, and the meticulous rendering of physiognomic details and clothing.
The painting has signature and date, J. Molenaer 1660. Although of excellent workmanship-see the rendering of textiles, pottery, and careful characterization of the characters-it can be referred to a painter active in the Master's circle.
The hand of this artist is so consistent with Molenaer's that in the 20th century the work was often attributed directly to him. Often these attributions were "corroborated" by a signature that obscured their true provenance, as in the present case. However, the finding of great technical expertise here is undeniable, making it a valuable work as well as representative of the great Molenaer's more mature style.
