Drinkend gezelschap rond een tafel 1846

"Drinkend gezelschap rond een tafel" (Drinking company around a table) is a 1846 etching by Charles Jacque. This small-scale work depicts three figures, one of which is a child, gathered around a table in an interior setting. The figures are rendered with a loose and expressive style, characteristic of Jacque's work, and the overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation and intimacy. Jacque was a notable artist of the Barbizon school, known for his pastoral scenes and depictions of rural life.
