About the Item

Watercolour painting of Russian peasants feasting by Teikh Russian, 1872 Frame: Height 92cm, width 122cm, depth 6cm Sheet: Height 76cm, width 107cm This fine watercolour painting is dated 1872 to the lower left and inscribed in Cyrillic, by Russian artist Gustavovich Teikh. The painting depicts peasants, or 'serfs' enjoying a rare moment of merriment and feasting in an interior. This painting could well have been produced in the wake of Alexander II's positive reforms toward the lives of serfs in Russia, who, before the Emancipation act of 1861, were tied to a piece of land by ownership. By comparison, the reforms drastically improved the poor quality of life of peasants in Russia.

By Henry Charles Bryant
Located in London, GB
19th century oil painting of a market scene by H. C. Bryant English, 1877 Canvas: Height 51cm, width 76.5cm Frame: Height 68cm, width 93.5cm, depth 5cm Painted by the English artist Henry Charles Bryant, this lively scene is typical of Bryant’s oeuvre. Bryant specialised in market and farmyard scenes, inspired by 17th century Dutch genre painting which similarly depicted vignettes of everyday life.

Antique Oil on Canvas Painting, Interior of an Inn with Dancing Peasants, 18th C
By David Teniers the Younger
Located in Dallas, TX
After the original 17th-century by the famed Flemish painter, David Teniers II (usually referred to as “David Teniers the Younger”, as his father David Teniers the Elder was also an accomplished painter), this fabulous painting depicts a vibrant scene, both in color and theme. Our version, which was painted in the 1700s, is by an unknown, but very talented artist. The painting is surrounded by a giltwood frame with two layers of beading. Both Teniers were known for developing the “peasant genre” or “tavern scene”, where members of the working class were shown actively celebrating life. The earthy tones of the interior of the inn (brown and beige) are offset by citizens in brightly colored attire consisting of green, red, black, and gray. The scene is divided into two rooms, with seven patrons (mostly men) gathered around a barrel table in front of a very large fireplace. Two of the men are playing cards and there are two tankards visible. The calmness of this group is a drastic difference from the 11 people gathered in the foreground. A man in blue stands on top of a wine barrel table...
