We recognize in these two genre paintings tavern scenes originally made, respectively by the Flemish David Teniers The Young Man (The Beer Drinker) and the Dutch Gerrit Dou (The Dentist). They are juicy scenes as they show with humor and light-heartedness a dentist who (we presume without anesthesia) has just pulled out a tooth of a young man, from whose mouth comes a trickle of blood. Teniers's scene shows us a tavern interior, with a gentle-looking gent looking at us as he smokes his pipe and drinks. These copies on copy retain the gracefulness of the models.
