  • Exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1834 as 'Bourgeois flamands'. This was Meissonier’s first exhibited picture - perhaps the principal explanation for its acquisition by Sir Richard Wallace, as it is a much cruder production than the other paintings by the artist in the Collection. Meissonier went on to paint many more seventeenth-century scenes.
