Man met glas en pijp naast vat 1818 - 1876

This lithograph, titled "Man met glas en pijp naast vat," was created between 1818 and 1876 by the Dutch artist Carel Christiaan Antony Last. The work, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man sitting on a barrel, holding a glass and a pipe, with a variety of objects, including cheese and glassware, surrounding him. Last's intricate detail and skillful rendering of light and shadow contribute to the realism of this charming genre scene. This piece exemplifies Last's talent for capturing the ordinary moments of everyday life in the Netherlands during the 19th century.
