In this case it would depend on whether the work was likely to have been intended by the artist to be perceived as a portrait—sometimes a subjective question.

Underneath the realistic representation are, however, often hidden underlying meanings, either moral or symbolic. For instance, <a href="/wiki/Gabriel_Metsu" class="mw-redirect" title="Gabriel Metsu">Gabriel Metsu</a>'s <a href="/wiki/File:Gabriel_Metsu_003.jpg" title="File:Gabriel Metsu 003.jpg"><i>The Poultry seller</i>, 1662</a> shows an old poultry seller handing a young woman a live <a href="/wiki/Rooster" class="mw-redirect" title="Rooster">rooster</a> with its head craning upwards. The suggestive pose of the rooster's head and the fact that the Dutch word for 'birds' (vogelen) was also a vulgar term for sexual intercourse indicated that the artist also included a scabrous meaning in his painting.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Genre painters often included symbolic meanings in their paintings. For instance, Adriaen Brouwer painted a number of genre portraits that represent the five senses or the seven deadly sins. An example is his genre group portrait <i>The Smokers</i> which depicts the sense of taste.<sup id="cite_ref-wild_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wild-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Other artists included moral meanings into their genre scenes. Jan Steen's <a href="/wiki/The_Happy_Family_(painting)" title="The Happy Family (painting)"><i>The Happy Family</i></a> painted in 1668 depicts a merry family evening with the head of the family, clearly inebriated, singing out his lungs, backed up by the mother and grandmother. The children join in on musical instruments. The moral of the picture is clarified in the note hanging from the mantelpiece reading "So de ouden songen, so pijpen de jongen" ("As the Old Sing, So the Young Pipe"), i.e. children will learn their behaviour from their parents.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Jacob_Jordaens" title="Jacob Jordaens">Jacob Jordaens</a> had painted a series of paintings on the same subject matter about 30 years earlier.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Antoine_Watteau_-_Pleasures_of_Love_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Antoine_Watteau_-_Pleasures_of_Love_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/260px-Antoine_Watteau_-_Pleasures_of_Love_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="214" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Antoine_Watteau_-_Pleasures_of_Love_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/390px-Antoine_Watteau_-_Pleasures_of_Love_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Antoine_Watteau_-_Pleasures_of_Love_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/520px-Antoine_Watteau_-_Pleasures_of_Love_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3778" data-file-height="3109" /></a><figcaption><i>Pleasures of Love</i> by <a href="/wiki/Antoine_Watteau" title="Antoine Watteau">Antoine Watteau</a>, 1718/19</figcaption></figure> <p>One of the recurring themes in Flemish and Dutch genre painting is that of the <i><a href="/wiki/Merry_company" title="Merry company">merry company</a></i>.

They thus blurred the boundary which had set genre painting apart as a "minor" category. Realist paintings on such a scale, and the new type showing people at work, emphasizing the effort involved, would not normally be called "genre paintings". Both monumental scale and the depiction of exhausting work are exemplified by <i><a href="/wiki/Barge_Haulers_on_the_Volga" title="Barge Haulers on the Volga">Barge Haulers on the Volga</a></i> (<a href="/wiki/Ilya_Repin" title="Ilya Repin">Ilya Repin</a>, 1873). <a href="/wiki/History_painting" title="History painting">History painting</a> itself shifted from the exclusive depiction of events of great public importance to the depiction of genre scenes in historical times, both the private moments of great figures, and the everyday life of ordinary people. In French art this was known as the <a href="/wiki/Troubador_style" class="mw-redirect" title="Troubador style">Troubador style</a>. This trend, already apparent by 1817 when <a href="/wiki/Jean_Auguste_Dominique_Ingres" class="mw-redirect" title="Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres">Ingres</a> painted <i>Henri IV Playing with His Children</i>, culminated in the <a href="/wiki/Pompier" class="mw-redirect" title="Pompier">pompier</a> art of French academicians such as <a href="/wiki/Jean-L%C3%A9on_G%C3%A9r%C3%B4me" title="Jean-Léon Gérôme">Jean-Léon Gérôme</a> (1824–1904) and <a href="/wiki/Jean-Louis-Ernest_Meissonier" class="mw-redirect" title="Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier">Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier</a> (1815–91). In the second half of the century interest in genre scenes, often in historical settings or with pointed social or moral comment, greatly increased across Europe. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:De_man_in_de_stoel,_Henri_De_Braekeleer,_(1875),_Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Schone_Kunsten_Antwerpen,_1845.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/De_man_in_de_stoel%2C_Henri_De_Braekeleer%2C_%281875%29%2C_Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Schone_Kunsten_Antwerpen%2C_1845.jpg/220px-De_man_in_de_stoel%2C_Henri_De_Braekeleer%2C_%281875%29%2C_Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Schone_Kunsten_Antwerpen%2C_1845.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="276" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/De_man_in_de_stoel%2C_Henri_De_Braekeleer%2C_%281875%29%2C_Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Schone_Kunsten_Antwerpen%2C_1845.jpg/330px-De_man_in_de_stoel%2C_Henri_De_Braekeleer%2C_%281875%29%2C_Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Schone_Kunsten_Antwerpen%2C_1845.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/De_man_in_de_stoel%2C_Henri_De_Braekeleer%2C_%281875%29%2C_Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Schone_Kunsten_Antwerpen%2C_1845.jpg/440px-De_man_in_de_stoel%2C_Henri_De_Braekeleer%2C_%281875%29%2C_Koninklijk_Museum_voor_Schone_Kunsten_Antwerpen%2C_1845.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5263" data-file-height="6598" /></a><figcaption><i>The Man on the Chair</i> by <a href="/wiki/Henri_De_Braekeleer" class="mw-redirect" title="Henri De Braekeleer">Henri De Braekeleer</a>, 1845</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/William_Powell_Frith" title="William Powell Frith">William Powell Frith</a> (1819–1909) was perhaps the most famous English genre painter of the Victorian era, painting large and extremely crowded scenes; the expansion in size and ambition in 19th-century genre painting was a common trend.
