Before the Inn 

"Before the Inn" is an oil painting by Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger, known for his genre scenes of peasant life. The painting depicts a group of men gathered outside a humble inn, with a picturesque countryside backdrop. The scene is filled with details of everyday life, from the men smoking and drinking, to the dog by their feet, and the distant river and hills. Teniers' style is characterized by loose brushstrokes and warm colors, creating a sense of immediacy and capturing the casual charm of everyday life in 17th-century Flanders.
