Man schenkt zichzelf een glas drank in 1761 - 1826

"Man schenkt zichzelf een glas drank in" is an etching by Dutch artist Gerrit Konsé (1751-1826) depicting a man in a hat pouring a glass of wine. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Konsé's mastery of detail and use of light and shadow. This small etching, measuring 75 mm by 67 mm, reveals the artist's focus on capturing the solitary moment of a simple act. The dark background and focused composition draw the viewer's attention to the figure's contemplative pose.
