In the Low Countries, the taverns were the center of social life of the popular classes. They gather there to smoke with a drink of beer, play cards, or to listen to the reading of the Gazette. Here, David Teniers II represents a group of three men smoking with a fireplace. In the background, a fourth urine in a basin. In this scene, the characters are stereotypes of "smoking". The painter does not give a view taken on the spot and does not make a portrait, he transcribed the daily life of his time through figures and motifs (the barrel pierced with a rectangular opening, the pitcher, ...), that found repeatedly in his paintings. The seated man wearing a beret to pen down his shoulders and coarse features, is found perfectly in "Smoking in a tavern" (Madrid, Prado Museum), as well as in other tables. David Teniers II has made a specialty of the representation of popular scenes, somewhat "sprees". Always in small formats, he worked and reworked several times the same theme. Thus, "The Bonnet red" (Wrotham Park Collection), "Green Bonnet" (Lugano, The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection) and "The Smoking" (Wallace Collection, London), among others, form the picture of Small a Palace group on the popular theme of tobacco smokers.

The Smoke was in the collection of Mesnard Knight Clesle. It appears in the sale of December 4, 1786, lot 08, sold for 3301 pounds to Mr. Courmont). It then appears in the sale of Robert of St. Victor, November 26, 1822 at Lot 118, awarded 5800 frs Mr. Claussin. He then entered the collection of Dutuit brothers, and will be integrated to the legacy of Augustus in favor of the City of Paris in 1902.
