This watercolor drawing, "Herberginterieur met twee doden en een drinker," by Gesina ter Borch, depicts a scene of chaos and death inside a tavern. Created around 1658, the artwork showcases a man hanging from the ceiling, while two bodies lie sprawled on the floor. This unsettling scene is heightened by the presence of a man seated near a barrel, seemingly unfazed by the carnage. The checkered floor, detailed interior, and multiple figures contribute to the vivid storytelling of the painting, which captures the morbid reality of a violent tavern brawl.
