Vijf drinkebroers 1600 - 1629

"Vijf drinkebroers" (Five Drinking Brothers) is an etching by Johann Liss, a prominent Baroque artist, created between 1600 and 1629. The etching depicts five figures engaged in a lively drinking session, their jovial expressions and relaxed poses suggesting a convivial atmosphere. Liss's signature use of hatching and cross-hatching to create tonal variations contributes to the etching's expressive quality. This work, characteristic of Liss's early style, showcases his masterful handling of line and composition, effectively capturing the humorous and engaging scene of the drinking brothers.
