Rokende en drinkende boeren in een herberg 1656 - 1690

"Rokende en drinkende boeren in een herberg" is an etching created by Gerrit Lucasz van Schagen between 1656 and 1690. This artwork depicts a scene of rural life in the Netherlands, portraying several figures engaging in a drinking and smoking session in a tavern setting. The depiction of peasant life in a tavern, common in Dutch genre painting of the 17th century, offers a glimpse into daily life and social interactions. This etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Van Schagen’s skill in capturing the details and atmosphere of everyday life.
