Most of the artist's works have brown and ocher tones which represent taverns with smokers, playing cards, and villagers drinking. These painting remind the viewer of the paintings by Adriaen Brouwer in his first period. There are also several similarities between the tavern scenes done by Adriaen van Ostade during 1635 and 1638.
