Located in a modest interior, which receives the light through an open door at the back and thanks to a small window, we find a group of men conceived in a historicist way by their clothes.
The present scene shows an inconsequential subject, set in a tavern. As the name itself indicates, these are scenes set in taverns, called costumbrista works because they show the usual customs of the common people of the time, with an important variety of styles, but always maintaining both the theme and a clear preference for an earthy palette. Influenced by the two masters mentioned above, the painter who makes this type of works, usually works an interior space with a very refined chromatic range, based on earthy and ochre tones, typical of the naturalism of the first baroque.
