About Artwork: (About 1646) "David Teniers seldom painted identifiable buildings, but in this case the large house partially hidden by trees has been identified as Het Sterckshof near Antwerp. It belonged to Jacob Edelheer, who was city secretary as well as a collector of artworks and scientific instruments. The figures on the bank may be Jacob and his family. The old man next to them may live on Edelheer’s land, and the fish he holds out a due as part of this agreement. Such dues may have included offering part of a catch of fish or a harvest of wheat, or it might entail a few days' labour for the landowner. Teniers has given the family an aristocratic if faintly comic air, but the fishermen have cartoon-like features, exaggerated and grotesque, in his usual style." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
