"Drinkende man zittend op een ton" (Man Drinking While Sitting on a Barrel), created by Dutch artist Mathias de Sallieth, is a simple yet captivating drawing. Created sometime between 1772 and 1791, this piece depicts a man, likely a commoner, dressed in simple clothing, casually pouring himself a drink from a pitcher. The drawing's realism and focus on everyday life are indicative of the popular genre of genre painting in the 18th century. This piece now resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
