Salvete Omnes,
Flemish master David Teniers the Elder had 4 sons who became painters and masters in their own right.
David Teniers the Younger achieved the most notoriety, but his younger brother Abraham also was noted for this popular guardroom scenes theme.
In these paintings we can observe numerous pieces of equipment, including fine saddles, armor, weapons, even our Central European (Polish, Hungarian or Croat) weaponry - sabre and nadziak/war hammer.
