Painting 'Twelfth Night the King Drinks' 19th century

Oil on panel. The painting is a revised copy of the famous work by David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690), executed between 1634 and 1640 and currently kept at the Prado Museum in Madrid. The title of the lively scene refers to the so-called Twelfth Night, a celebration corresponding to the Epiphany, exactly twelve days after Christmas, which was the last night of celebrations, in which one could drink beyond limits, dedicate oneself to love, to exchanges of couples and gender, a sort of carnival, during which the King of Misrule (literally the king of misgovernment) was elected, a reversed sovereign who imposed his laws, subverting rules and behaviors. This work, like many others by Teniers, had such success linked to the numerous commissions of royals and aristocrats during the 18th century, that it led to a large posthumous production of copyists, many of whom even signed with the artist's name. The painting presented here has several color losses, to be restored. It is in a late 19th century frame, adapted for dimensions.
