Mannen roken in een herberg c. 1800 - 1900

"Mannen roken in een herberg" (Men Smoking in an Inn) is an etching by Eduard Ade, a Dutch artist active in the late 19th century. The scene portrays a group of men gathered in a tavern, smoking and chatting. Ade masterfully captures the relaxed atmosphere of the inn through the casual postures of the figures and the detailed depiction of the interior, including a dog lying by a barrel and a shelf with various items above a fireplace. This etching exemplifies the genre of everyday life scenes, capturing a glimpse into the social fabric of 19th-century Dutch society.
