This print captures the lively atmosphere of an old tavern, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. Painted by Egbert van Heemskerck the Elder in 1634, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 25.4x32.8 cm and is currently housed at Nottingham City Museums and Galleries. The scene depicts a dimly lit interior filled with men indulging in their leisurely pursuits - smoking pipes and engaging in animated conversation. The room exudes warmth and camaraderie as patrons gather around tables, enjoying each other's company amidst clouds of smoke. A server can be seen attending to the needs of these jovial customers, adding to the bustling ambiance of the tavern.

The painting invites us to imagine ourselves as partakers in this convivial scene; we can almost hear laughter echoing through its hallowed halls. With its rich colors and intricate brushwork, this artwork serves as a window into history - offering us a glimpse into an era where public houses played an integral role in fostering community connections. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people sought refuge from daily life within these establishments - finding solace among friends while
