"Roker en Drinker," meaning "Smoker and Drinker," is a 1723-1789 etching by Jacob Hoolaart, a Dutch artist born in 1713 and died in 1789. The small-scale artwork (138 mm x 128 mm) depicts two men, one pouring liquid from a jug, and the other seated at a table with a bowl and a spoon, in a tavern setting. It is a genre scene, common in Dutch art, depicting everyday life and social interactions.
