"A Laughing Man, a Roemer of Wine in His Left Hand" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerrit van Honthorst, also known as Gherardo delle Notti due to his Italianate influence and his penchant for night scenes illuminated by artificial light. The painting is characteristic of Honthorst's genre works, which often depict merry company scenes, musicians, or individuals in a state of merriment or carousing, illuminated by candlelight.

Created in the 1620s, this work exemplifies Honthorst's skill in capturing the effects of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the jovial and sometimes rowdy atmosphere of Dutch tavern scenes. The painting features a man, possibly a reveler or a peasant, holding a roemer—a type of wine glass popular in the 17th century—filled with wine. His expression is one of laughter or hearty enjoyment, suggesting a moment of unguarded mirth or conviviality.

The subject's face is lit with a soft glow that highlights his features and the glass, demonstrating Honthorst's mastery of chiaroscuro, a technique that plays with stark contrasts between light and dark. This method was heavily influenced by Caravaggio, whom Honthorst admired during his time in Rome. The painting's composition, with its close-up view of the figure and the dramatic lighting, draws the viewer into the scene, creating an intimate and engaging experience.

"A Laughing Man, a Roemer of Wine in His Left Hand" is not only a testament to Honthorst's artistic talents but also provides insight into the social customs and daily life of the Dutch during the 17th century. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of Dutch Golden Age painting.
