55/8 x 73/8 in. (14.3 x 18.8 cm.)

Though this little sketch may, at first glance, be taken as a copy after Teniers, it is in fact entirely of Wilkie’s own invention, though evidently using the Dutch master as his inspiration. As his first biographer, Allan Cunningham noted: ‘It was a favourite theory of [Wilkie’s] to keep some fine picture in his mind while his brush was wet, that...he might warm his taste by its beauties, and, without exactly imitating, create something akin to it in spirit and feeling’ (The Life of Sir David Wilkie, London, 1843, I, p. 435).
