The subject of peasants cheerfully relaxing outside an inn is a typical theme of Adriaen van Ostade, whose paintings were influenced by the work of his supposed fellow-pupil Adriaen Brouwer. The small scale and the composition, which includes a rustic building dominating the right half of the scene, are also typical features of Ostade's work. But although it was purportedly signed by Ostade, this painting is thought to be a copy or pastiche after him, and it may have been made in the nineteenth century when such pictures enjoyed great popularity.
