Uppoudu taiteen maailmaan Metropolitan Museumissa! Tutustu tuhansien vuosien taideteoksiin, antiikin aarteista moderniin taiteeseen – ainutlaatuinen kokemus New Yorkissa.
This painting is not a portrait of an identifiable sitter, but rather a character study of a man Sweerts recruited as a professional model. Clutching a tankard and glass, with a pipe and loose tobacco before him, the man embodies the pleasures of the senses. At the same time, his thoughtful and individual expression makes him transcend any mere type or moralizing lesson.
