Der Nachruhm David Teniers´ des Jüngeren war so eindrucksvoll wie dessen künstlerische Karriere zu Lebzeiten. Im Frankreich des 18. Jahrhunderts wurden seine Gemälde zu Höchstpreisen gehandelt, Künstler wie Jean Siméon Chardin ließen sich von ihm inspirieren und sein Werk galt als Inbegriff der niederländischen Genremalerei. Mittenhinein in diese französische Teniers-Begeisterung führt uns diese kleine Kupfertafel mit der Darstellung eines Bauern, der sein Weinglas hebt und den Betrachter lächelnd anblickt. Pierre Chenu hat es 1743 in Paris gestochen, der seitenverkehrten Radierung (Abb. 3) hat er den – geradezu programmatischen – Titel „Le Buveur Flamand“ verliehen. Die launigen Verse, die Chenu seiner Radierung beigegeben hat, verdeutlichen, was nicht nur die damaligen Betrachter an Teniers´ Genreszenen schätzten: Sie zeigen ein wohlwollendes Bild von sorglosen, glücklichen Landleuten, die Feste feiern, Mahlzeiten genießen und sich zuweilen Liebschaften hingeben. Teniers knüpfte mit seinen Genredarstellungen an die Tradition Adriaan Brouwers an. Seine Figuren waren jedoch offen, freundlich und leidlich gesittet, während sie bei Brouwers rauften, pöbelten und Grimassen schnitten. Teniers verband die milde Heiterkeit seiner Darstellungen mit der technischen Brillanz seiner Malerei, wie sie sich in diesem Gemälde in den Stilllebenelementen, etwa dem Weinglas, oder der Darstellung der Figur zeigt, die trotz der reduzierten Farbigkeit so lebendig wirkt. Bevor das Gemälde von Pierre Chenu in den 1740er Jahren vervielfältigt wurde, befand es sich wohl in einer der prominentesten Kunstsammlungen der französischen Hauptstadt, und zwar in jener der Comtesse de Verrue, einer politisch wie kulturell bedeutenden Persönlichkeit im damaligen Paris. Bei der Nummer 66 des handgeschriebenen Katalogs ihrer Versteigerung von 1737 dürfte es sich um das vorliegende Gemälde handeln (vgl. Abb. 1), das sich später in englischen, nord- und südamerikanischen Sammlungen befand, bevor es in eine deutsche Sammlung gelangte.

David Teniers the Younger was as highly famed as an artist posthumously as throughout his lifetime. In the 18th century France his paintings sold for exceptionally high prices; he inspired artists such as Jean Siméon Chardin, and his work was considered the quintessential example of Netherlandish genre painting. This small copper panel showing a smiling peasant happily raising his glass to toast the beholder is an exceptional example of the French enthusiasm for Teniers. The work was made into an engraving by Pierre Chenu in Paris in 1743, and this mirrored print was given the classic title “Le Buveur Flamand” (fig. 3). The bawdy verse with which Chenu embellished his engraving expresses all that, not only contemporary, viewers appreciate in Teniers' genre scenes. They depict a sympathetic image of happy, carefree peasants enjoying fetes, meals, or liaisons. Teniers' works follow in the tradition established by Adriaan Brouwers. However, while Browers' figures gave the appearance of pugnacious thugs - fighting and making faces - Teniers' peasants are open, friendly, and well mannered. He combines the mild joviality of his motifs with technical brilliance in his painting. This is particularly evident in the way he renders the still life elements and the figure in this work so naturalistically despite the reduced colour palette. Before Chenu reproduced this work as an engraving in the 1740s, it was kept in one of the most prominent art collections in Paris. Namely, that of the Comtesse de Verrue, a politically and culturally important figure in the city at the time. This work is thought to be that listed as no. 66 in the hand-written catalogue of her collection sale from 1737 (fig. 1). The piece passed into English, North- and South American collections before finding its way to Germany.
