"The Drinker" (c. 1660) is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steen, known for his humorous and moralistic depictions of everyday life in the 17th century. The painting portrays a jovial scene, typical of Steen's oeuvre, where the central figure, presumably the drinker, is caught in a moment of merriment or inebriation. The artwork reflects the artist's fascination with the human condition and the social mores of his time.

Jan Steen's work often carries a moral message, and "The Drinker" is no exception. It may serve as a cautionary tale about the excesses of alcohol consumption, a common theme in Dutch genre painting, where the consequences of such behavior are often depicted with a blend of humor and didacticism. The painting's composition, use of color, and attention to detail exemplify Steen's skill in capturing the textures and expressions that bring his subjects to life.

While the exact location of "The Drinker" is not universally documented, works by Jan Steen are held in numerous prestigious collections around the world, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Mauritshuis in The Hague. As with many of Steen's paintings, "The Drinker" is likely to be admired for its narrative quality and the artist's ability to render scenes with both wit and a keen observational eye.

Steen's legacy as a painter lies in his ability to infuse his works with a sense of immediacy and vitality, qualities that make "The Drinker" a quintessential example of his artistic contributions to the Dutch Golden Age of painting. The piece remains an important work for study by art historians and enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the cultural and social dynamics of 17th-century Netherlands.
