“The Smokers” by David Teniers the Younger in the East Drawing Room of The Wallace Collection, Marylebone, London, England

From The Wallace Collection website:

The Smokers is a tavern scene influenced by Adriaen Brouwer, showing the vice of smoking, as three peasants roll tobacco, fill a pipe and inhale. The discarded shoe indicates the men’s unwillingness to leave such a congenial interior and the mussel shells warn of the poverty to which such behaviour will lead.
