"Vier rokende en drinkende mannen aan een tafel" (Four smoking and drinking men at a table), a 1754 etching by Abraham Delfos, depicts four men gathered around a table, engaged in the convivial activities of smoking and drinking. The scene offers a glimpse into the social customs of the 18th century, highlighting the popularity of tobacco and alcohol consumption. Delfos's detailed and expressive style captures the individuals' relaxed and carefree demeanor, creating a sense of intimacy and camaraderie. This small-scale work, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, exemplifies the artist's ability to convey both realism and humor in his depictions of everyday life.
