"A Guardroom Interior with Soldiers Drinking and Smoking" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp. This work is an example of a "guardroom scene" or "tronie," a genre that was popular in the Netherlands during the period, often depicting soldiers at rest or engaging in mundane activities within the confines of a guardroom. The painting is characterized by its vivid depiction of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age style, which Cuyp adeptly employs to highlight the textures and expressions of the soldiers' faces and their surroundings.

In this painting, Cuyp captures a moment of leisure as the soldiers indulge in the vices of drinking and smoking, a common theme that served as a moralizing lesson on the excesses of military life. The composition typically features an array of still-life elements, such as armor, weapons, and other accoutrements of war, juxtaposed with the human figures to create a narrative scene that is both dynamic and intimate.

Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp (1612–1652) was part of a family of Dutch painters and is often noted for his influence by his more famous relative, Aelbert Cuyp. His works are considered important in understanding the evolution of genre painting in the Dutch Republic, and "A Guardroom Interior with Soldiers Drinking and Smoking" is a prime example of his contribution to the genre.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that specialize in Dutch Golden Age paintings. It continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the period and is appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
