The Interior of an Inn with Nine Peasants and a Hurdy-Gurdy Player,' by adriaen van ostade, 1653. The artist painted many tavern scenes of this type showing peasants drinking, smoking and listening to itinerant musicians. This type of composition with groups of people in a desolate, dark room which recedes sharply into the picture space is characteristic of van Ostade's work.
