EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of pure authenticity and character. The image showcases "The Old Drinker" an elderly man who exudes a sense of wisdom and experience as he sits comfortably next to a beer keg. With a pipe held firmly in his right hand, the old drinker seems lost in thought, perhaps reflecting on the many stories and memories that have been shared over countless puffs. In his left hand, he holds a tin beer jug, evidence of his indulgence in life's simple pleasures. As we observe the details within this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the wall behind him where an additional jug hangs proudly. It serves as both decoration and testament to the old man's passion for all things related to drinking. Painted by Gabriel Metsu between 1661 and 1663 using oil paint on panel, this piece captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of what it means to be an old drinker. It is through these brushstrokes that Metsu immortalizes this timeless figure with such precision and skill. This print allows us to appreciate not just artistry but also history itself - reminding us of simpler times when enjoying good company alongside a pint was enough to bring contentment.
