Guardroom with the Deliverance of Saint Peter, ca. 1645–47, Oil on wood, 21 3/4 x 29 7/8 in. (55.2 x 75.9 cm), Paintings, David Teniers the Younger (Flemish, Antwerp 1610–1690 Brussels), Teniers’s talents as a still life painter, observer of folksy figures, and popular moralist are amply evident in this well preserved panel. By including Saint Peter in prison (Acts 12:5–11) as a background scene, the artist makes a pointed comparison between everyday life in his own time and that of King Herod
