About the painting
The Merry Drinker is an oil-on-canvas painting by Dutch artist Frans Hals, from c. 1628–1630. The painting has dimensions of 81 by 66.5 centimeters. It is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam.
Hals's unique painting style is a result of layering the paint and employing loose brushstrokes. It has been difficult to classify the painting and there has been much discussion about whether it is a genre piece or a portrait. It is one of the Rijksmuseum's most popular pieces due to its originality and candor, reflecting the energy of the Dutch Golden Age.
In the museum's words
This work is a pinnacle of Hals’ bold and loose ‘rough’ style. The brushstrokes criss-cross the canvas, creating the impression of rapid execution as well as suggesting movement. The sitter, likely a civic guardsman or a military man based on his attire, is just about to raise his glass to toast with us.
