It shows a young woman pouring wine or a drink for two elegantly dressed men—one playing a lute or baroque guitar, the other seated on the left, raising his cup with a flirtatious expression—set in a rustic inn or barn, with chickens and barrels in the background. The theme is typical of cabaret or tavern scenes, often inspired by the paintings of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, François Boucher, or Flemish artists such as David Teniers the Younger. These works sought to portray the joy of living, seduction, and popular music in a cheerful, rustic setting. Woven on a Jacquard loom with a blend of wool, acrylic, and cotton, this masterpiece dates back to the mid 20th century. Bring a touch of timeless beauty to your space with this finely crafted artwork.
