Christoffel Van Der Lamen specializes in genre painting.
He likes to represent assemblies of musicians, backgammon players, indoor or outdoor meals. The guests are always richly dressed, the women wearing magnificent silk dresses in bright colors and adorned with jewelry, the men in extravagant hats.
His touch is fluid and light, the materials and colors harmonize wonderfully, an atmosphere of joy and shared pleasure emerges.
Very prolific and having to respond to numerous requests, Christoffels Van Der Lamen painted several variations of his paintings.
