Vrolijke drinker 1877 - 1915

"Vrolijke drinker" is a lithograph by Bernardus Arnoldus van der Eerden, a Dutch artist known for his work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The artwork depicts a man in a wide-brimmed hat and a lavishly detailed ruff, with a cheerful expression. The lithograph, created between 1877 and 1915, is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. It is a classic example of 19th-century Dutch portraiture, capturing the essence of a jovial and seemingly wealthy individual. The artwork's detail and composition demonstrate van der Eerden's mastery of the lithographic process.
