Scene in a Wine Cellar is a 1537 oil by pseudo-Félix Chrétien Bartholomeus Pons, a Mannerism work, held at Städel Museum.
The painting depicts a scene in a wine cellar, with three men engaged in various activities. One man is standing on a raised platform, while another is inside a pit, and the third is pulling a rope. The setting appears to be a dimly lit cellar with stone walls and a tiled floor. The men are dressed in simple attire, with the man on the platform wearing a yellow vest and red tights. The man in the pit is shirtless, and the man pulling the rope is wearing a white shirt and yellow shorts. The atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet industry, with the men focused on their tasks. The use of chiaroscuro in the painting creates a sense of depth and volume, with the strong contrasts between light and dark drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures.
