One monk holds a glass up to the light, seemingly examining its quality, while another monk sits beside him, enjoying the beverage. This humorous scene likely satirizes the lives of monks, highlighting their enjoyment of earthly pleasures. The painting exemplifies Grützner's signature style, characterized by meticulous details and a focus on everyday life.
