This framed hand painted Antique Renaissance Revival Period Framed Oil Painting on Board depicts two 17th century men enjoying a tankard or two at the local tavern.  Painted on board which is more difficult and demanding that on canvas, it displays excellent technique, shadow and composition.  Note the finery of the clothing, and that one of the gentlemen was allowed to wear his sword inside the tavern, a sure sign of aristocracy.  Signed by the artist, it is perfect for the masculine decor!  Stamped on the back of the board itself by the establishment that sold the paintings for the artist, located in Paris.
Circa mid-1800s.
Measures 16.5H x 14W overall.
