The Drinker (Portrait of Wirts Rauecker)

Wilhelm Leibl

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated and turned slightly to the left. He is holding a glass in his right hand at chest level. The man has a mustache and crinkled eyes, with curly or wavy hair mostly covered by a cap. He is dressed in a loosely-fitted jacket and a shirt or scarf underneath. The background is plain with cross-hatching suggesting depth.
