"Boors Smoking a Pipe at the Inn" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Joos van Craesbeeck. Known for his genre scenes depicting peasants and low-life characters, van Craesbeeck's work often reflects the influence of his contemporaries, such as Adriaen Brouwer and David Teniers the Younger. This particular painting captures a candid moment within a rustic tavern setting, a common theme in Dutch and Flemish genre painting of the time.

The artwork features a group of boorish figures, likely peasants or local townsfolk, engaged in the leisurely activity of smoking pipes. The scene is characterized by a sense of camaraderie and unrefined enjoyment, as the subjects appear immersed in their social interaction, possibly sharing stories or jokes. The figures are typically rendered with exaggerated facial expressions and robust physiques, emphasizing the earthy and often humorous nature of their existence.

Van Craesbeeck's use of chiaroscuro and meticulous attention to textural details, such as the smoke from the pipes and the worn surfaces within the inn, contribute to the painting's vivid portrayal of 17th-century tavern life. The artist's ability to convey the atmosphere of the inn through the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his skillful depiction of the figures' rustic attire and the inn's interior, make "Boors Smoking a Pipe at the Inn" a compelling example of genre painting from the Flemish Baroque period.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, the painting is generally attributed to the period when van Craesbeeck was active, between 1630 and 1660. Today, the painting is considered an important work within Joos van Craesbeeck's oeuvre, offering insight into the social customs and daily life of the lower classes in the 17th-century Southern Netherlands. It remains an exemplary piece for studying the genre traditions and cultural attitudes of the time, as well as the artistic techniques employed by painters within the circle of influence of the great Flemish masters.
