"Dryckesbroder" (also known as "The Procuress" or "The Drinkers") is a renowned oil painting by the Dutch artist Dirck van Baburen, a prominent figure in the Utrecht Caravaggism movement during the early 17th century. This painting is one of Baburen's most famous works and exemplifies the Caravaggesque style, characterized by dramatic chiaroscuro and a focus on realistic, often gritty subject matter.

Completed in 1623, "Dryckesbroder" depicts a scene of merriment and vice, where a group of individuals is engaged in drinking and possibly prostitution. The central figure, a woman who is believed to be a procuress, points towards a coin in the foreground, suggesting a transaction of some sort. The painting's composition, use of light, and the raw portrayal of the figures reflect the influence of Caravaggio, whom Baburen may have studied during his time in Rome.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its influence on other artists, particularly in the Dutch Golden Age. Johannes Vermeer, for instance, was inspired by Baburen's work, and a copy of "Dryckesbroder" appears in the background of two of Vermeer's own paintings, "The Concert" and "Lady Seated at a Virginal."

"Dryckesbroder" is a testament to Baburen's skill in capturing the essence of the human condition and the darker aspects of society. The painting remains an important piece of Baroque art and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to the period. It is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, allowing the public to view and appreciate this masterpiece of 17th-century Dutch art.
