The Old Drinker
Gabriël Metsuca. 1661 - ca. 1663
Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
This old man holding a beer tankard looks out at us somewhat drowsily. The tally of the drinks he has consumed is chalked up on the slate behind him. The beer barrel at the left bears the mark of Het Rode Hert (The Red Hart), an Amsterdam brewery on the Prinsengracht. Metsu was living next door to it around 1650.
