"Noble with a horn for drinking wine" is a painting by the Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani (1862-1918). The painting depicts a man standing against a backdrop of grapevines, holding a horn for drinking wine and a pitcher. The man is dressed in traditional Georgian clothing. The painting is a fine example of Pirosmani's distinctive style, which was influenced by folk art. The flat planes of color and bold outlines, along with the simple, naive aesthetic, give the work a timeless, almost childlike quality. His work is a testament to the beauty of simple things and a celebration of the ordinary people and landscapes of his native Georgia.
