DAVID TENIERS THE YOUNGER (ANTWERP 1610-BRUSSELS 1690)
The Drummer
RCIN 406577
George IV seems to have made no distinction between Dutch artists and those, like David Teniers, working in a similar style in the Southern Netherlands. The boredom of the soldier’s life was an important theme in genre painting during and after the Eighty Years War (1568 –1648).
Acquired by George IV in 1803
