Teniers painted multiple guardroom interiors, which served as inspiration for this composition. In the foreground, a still life of armors, saddles, drums, and pistols sit opposite to a black servant, while the background presents a group of soldiers either gambling, drinking, smoking, or resting. This format relates to two other paintings by Teniers that recently sold at Sotheby's.1
