David Teniers

David Teniers maintained an active artistic career spanning more than five decades, documented from 1614 to 1665. The known body of his work represented in museum collections totals fifteen objects, comprised of five David Teniers paintings, two David Teniers prints, and eight drawings.

His work, which covers both figurative and architectural subjects, demonstrates a range of documentation techniques. Documented titles include the genre scene Peasant Talking to a Woman and the detailed portrait Portret van Justus Lipsius. Studies focusing on landscape and architecture, such as Plein met huizen and Schets van huizen, alongside figurative work like Schoorsteenveger, further illustrate his diverse output.

Teniers's lasting institutional importance is confirmed by the presence of his output in prominent international collections. Works by the artist are held by institutions including the Rijksmuseum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. These established holdings ensure the accessibility and study of his drawings and paintings. Many of these historical works, particularly the prints and drawings, are now part of the public domain, offering access to high-quality reproductions for scholarly and educational purposes.
