You sly little SOB. The casual passerby of this painting is going to be like, "oh yeah, it's three guys just bro-in out drinkin' some moonshine out of a jug (they ran out of Olde English at the convenience store-naturally). no biggie "FALSE. The guy in the back corner is going for the casual pee on the wall. He didn't even make it to the bathroom. It's like how sometimes girls think peeing in a washing machine is socially acceptable-it isn't. or flower pots are really just decorative urinals...not...well, debatable.
Regardless, how can the current generation help themselves or follow social norms when the Flemish set this kind of example in the 17th century? It's basically tradition now! It would be rude not to follow up, extensively. If anything is prescribed or depicted in oil paint, it must be the truth, brotha'.
So i guess David Teniers (1645), The Younger, had it right from the get go- peeps cannot control themselves.
You can't win them all.
