Vézilier-Dussart (ed.), Fêtes et Kermesses au temps des Brueghel, exh. cat., Ghent 2019, p. 252, under no. 74 This picture is either the prototype for, or a closely comparable version of the composition attributed to David Vinckboons in the National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen.1 The Copenhagen painting, which is arguably less free in its handling, differs from the present work in having a greater amount of space above the lutenist's head and in portraying the woman at the far left in full, which suggests that the present panel has been reduced at the top and along its left-hand side. A copy after this composition, which last appeared on the market in 2016, further attests to its popularity.2 A merry group of nine men and women, accompanied by a dog, gather around a table laden with oysters and wine, among other delicacies. While one gentleman proffers his roemer towards the sky, another, on the right, fingers his lute beside a lady who sings from a book. The grand building in the background underscores the extravagance of the scene. Some scholars have proposed that this composition alludes to the parable of The Prodigal Son among the Harlots.3 Although this cannot be discerned with certainty, several elements support this hypothesis: the proximity between the figures, the oysters - both on the table and littered on the ground - as an aphrodisiac, and the free flowing wine.4 1 Inv. no. KMSsp175; oil on panel, 51 x 81.5 cm.; 2 Anonymous sale, Munich, Hampel, 30 June 2016, lot 806 (as Philips Vinckboons II).3 Koester 2000, pp. 279-80, no. KMSsp175; S. Heiberg, Christian IV and Europe: The 19th Art Exhibition of the Council of Europe, exh. cat., Denmark 1988, pp. 339-40, no. 1103; and Laffon in Ghent 2019, p. 252, no. 74, all discuss this theory in relation to the version in the National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen.4 Laffon in Ghent 2019, p. 252. Condition Report: UV light reveals various small and precise retouches scattered across the painting. The most evident sections are on the musical instrument of the gentleman on the right corner (where multiple thin brushstrokes have been applied across), on the sky on the right centre, and a few retouches on the heads of the sitters, such as the bearded man sitting at the centre, and the two ladies sitting on his left. Furthermore, some retouches are present on the clothing and on the dog near the right border. To conclude, a thick section on the upper right corner fluoresces under UV light, but such might be caused by an applied varnish. Condition Report Disclaimer

Attributed to Jan Havicksz Steen (Leiden, Netherlands, circa 1626 - 1679) "Tavern Interior".Oil on panel. Signed.60 x 99 cm.Jan Steen was a Dutch painter of great versatility, famous for his costumbrista and of genre scenes. He was trained by several masters from different cities, such as Adriaen van Ostade from Haarlem, the landscape painter Jan van Goyen from The Hague and Nicolaus Knüpfer from Ultrecht. We read in his biography in the Rijksmuseum that "in 1648, already a master, he helped to create an artists' guild in Leiden, in which he held various positions," including that of president on two occasions.His style, characterized by a grotesque and lively look, evolves during his career towards works with fewer but more characteristic figures until "in his last period he stylized his figures, toned down the colors and his compositions opened up to the new tastes of the turn of the century," as stated by the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. In addition to the representation of cheerful and amusing interior and exterior scenes, the Thyssen continues, "his paintings with allegorical and religious themes stand out, along with some commissioned portraits", as well as some with historical themes. It is curious to note the appreciation of the Mauritshuis, which states that "his chaotic scenes are so typical of his work that in Dutch there is the common expression «a house of Jan Steen»".Steen developed an extensive production that today we find preserved and exhibited in many Western museums. As we cannot mention it all, we highlight "Young Man Eating Oysters" (c. 1658-60), the master's smallest work, in the Mauritshuis in The Hague; "Wine is Mocking" (1663-64), in the Norton Simon Museum in California; the "Self-Portrait with Lute" (c. 1663-65), in the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza; and "The Feast of St. Nicholas" (c. 1665-68), in the Rijksmuseum.Reference bibliography:- Thyssen Museum (n.d.).

They had eight children.Frederick then took up an executive role for an Australia, Southeast Asia and South Sea Island trading company, Burns Philp, which took him to travel extensively in East Asia; it is presumably during the course of these travels that he had the opportunity to discover Chinese and East Asian Art, and start amassing his collection of snuff bottles, amongst other things. He was a passionate collector of many things beside snuff bottles, including Oceanic Art and Orientalia.In 1978, the current vendor, a grandchild of Frederick, came to England to attend Cambridge university. At the time he was given power of attorney from the executors of the estate to assist in and arrange the sale of Frederick and Lily’s remaining real estate and properties in Sutton and Carshalton.As thanks for his assistance, the executors, Molly and Hilda Ruddle, gave him the collection of snuff bottles, in 1980, which he lovingly preserved, researched, and added to over the years.Condition Report: At least one barely noticeable inclusion to the stone, around the leaf; a small chip to the edge of the stopper. A couple of insignificant nibbles.
