After Teniers: Jovial Old Man with a Pipe
. Signed "P. Rospini" u.r., inscribed "After Teniers" on a fragmentary label affixed to the stretcher. Oil on canvas, 23 x 16 3/4 in., framed. Condition: Lined, probable old retouch, stable craquelure, minor surface grime.

Framed dimensions are 33 5/8 x 27 1/2 x 4 inches.
