In a stable- or tavern-like interior, figures play cards around a table while the host takes orders, marking them with chalk on the table. Others chat in front of the fire, and a woman in the background appears to be pushing open a door. Our work is a replica of the painting by David Teniers le Jeune, dated circa 1643 and held in the collections of the Royal Collection Trust (inv. RCIN 405217). On the exhibition-event in which our work would have been presented, see: Ian KENNEDY, "The 'Wrexham Art Treasures' exhibition of 1876", The BRITISH ART Journal, vol. XIX, n°3, pp. 80 ff.
