Tavern Scene

 

David Teniers the Younger. Tavern Scene. 1658.

A painting of a tavern scene by Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger. This scene and the images below depict experiences that Philippe du Trieux or Lodewyck Post may have enjoyed in Amsterdam or Dutch New Netherland. From Lorine McGinnis Schulze's book on Lodewyck and Agnietje Post, Lodewyck was granted permission to operate as a tavern keeper "to sell wine and beer by the small measure" in February 1656 in New Amsterdam.

Adriaen van Ostade. A Woman with a Beer Jug. 1670s.

Perhaps Agnietje assisted in Lodewyck's tavern, pouring beer and wine for customers in the last days of Dutch New Amsterdam and after 1664, the early days of New York.

One more note - I tried to get Ideogram to generate a scene from a tavern in Dutch New Amsterdam in 1656, but the images did not quite match up as well as paintings from the Dutch and Flemish masters of the day.
