DAVID TENIERS II THE YOUNGER Antwerp, Belgium (1610) / Brus

Oil on canvas Signed lower right. There is a "Village Festival" North Carolina Museum of Art (no. 52.9.115, oil on canvas, 167 x 241 cm) catalogued as David Teniers the Younger and workshop (?) which probably formed a pair with the present work and which was in the collection of the Marquesses of Hastings since the 18th century, so the same provenance cannot be ruled out, nor can it have workshop intervention.
