Drinkende en rokende boeren 1623 - 1653

"Drinkende en rokende boeren" is a 17th-century etching by Pieter Nolpe depicting three farmers engaged in a casual moment, one of them holding a pipe and another with a drink. The etching is a fine example of the Dutch Golden Age's focus on everyday scenes, capturing the relaxed camaraderie of ordinary people in their rustic setting. The work's intimate scale and detailed rendering of the figures and their surroundings underscore Nolpe's mastery of this popular genre. This etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
