Description: Artist: After David Teniers the Younger, Flemish 1610-1690Title: The Covetous ManMedium: Oil on panelDimensions: 21 x 21 cmCondition Report: The frame shows damage; however, the painting itself remains in good condition. Description: This oil on panel, titled The Covetous Man, is a fine work executed after David Teniers the Younger, a celebrated Flemish painter of the 17th century. Measuring 21 x 21 cm, the painting captures a popular theme of the era, where the act of weighing gold symbolized the vice of avarice. This moralizing subject was frequently explored by Dutch and Flemish artists, and Teniers himself revisited the theme on multiple occasions. The piece is a smaller rendition after Teniers’ larger work, which is currently housed in the National Gallery, London (NG155). Despite damage to the frame, the painting remains in good condition, preserving the detail and expression characteristic of Teniers’ style. Provenance includes a previous sale at Bonhams, London, on 15 April 2021 (lot 7). This background, coupled with the artwork's connection to Teniers’ legacy, makes it a valuable addition to collections focusing on Flemish art and the symbolic narratives of the 17th century.
