A truly charming mid 19th Century scene in oil, showing a trio of men at a tavern, each smoking their clay pipes. The artist has wonderfully captured three distinct characters; the dapper fellow at the front of the scene boasts a fashionable mustache and jauntily feathered cap. The man to the left seems to have gotten a little groggy on his ale and the mysterious man at the back, prepares his pipe with his head down, half concealed in the shadows. The painting is unsigned, on canvas.
The painting has been presented in its original Empire style frame which boasts delicate foliate strapwork and laurel and berry molding. The frame is finished with a gilt slip.
On canvas.The painting is in remarkable condition, given its age. There is a small canvas repair at the reverse which has been fully restored at the front. The frame has several losses at the lower edge of the inner window and a loss to the upper and lower left corners of the outer window. The frame has been treated with a modern gilt effect. The slip has some light tarnishing and discolouration.
