Catalogue raisonné: Description in Flemish paintings C. 1600-C. 1800 III, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 2010, cat.no. 115:

Technical notes: The plain-weave canvas probably
comes from the same bolt as no. 114. The painting has
been lined and it has been trimmed on all sides along the
four edges of the current non-original stretcher. The texture
of the lining canvas is clearly discernible in the surface
layer of the painting.
The pale brown ground has been applied thickly and
evenly and completely covers the texture of the support.
The paint surface is simply composed of opaque layers.
Between the figures in the foreground and background
there are areas in which the ground is visible. There are a
few areas with highlights in impasto. The fabric of the
canvas, the ground, the palette and brushwork are identical
to no. 114. The painting underwent conservation
treatment in 1868 and 1869.

This work depicts a woman and a man sitting in a
humble interior, probably an inn, next to a barrel with
an arrangement of fruit as in a still life. Here Lambrechts
provided proof of his talent not only as a genre
painter but also in painting still lifes. Behind the two
figures a third person can be seen. Similar versions of
this motif by Lambrechts can be found, among them
one that was sold in Hamburg in 2001.1 For other versions
by Lambrechts see nos. 112–114.
