"Ein Guter Schluck" (A Good Swig) is a 19th-century genre painting by the German artist Karl von Enhuber (1811–1867). The painting is notable for its depiction of a moment of everyday life, capturing a scene that reflects the social customs and domestic life of the period. Von Enhuber, who was a student of Peter von Cornelius at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, is known for his genre works that often portray scenes of conviviality and peasant life with a keen eye for detail and character.

In "Ein Guter Schluck," von Enhuber illustrates a scene where an individual, typically a peasant or a commoner, is taking a hearty drink, possibly from a stein or a similar vessel. The work is characterized by its fine brushwork, attention to the effects of light and shadow, and the expressive faces of its subjects, which convey a sense of contentment and satisfaction. The painting's composition and the artist's use of color demonstrate von Enhuber's skill in creating a lively and engaging narrative through visual means.

As a representative piece of Biedermeier art, a style prevalent in the German-speaking states during the first half of the 19th century, "Ein Guter Schluck" reflects the era's focus on the simplicity and comfort of home life, as well as the burgeoning middle-class values of the time. The Biedermeier period, sandwiched between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the revolutions of 1848, was marked by a retreat from political life into the private sphere, and this is echoed in von Enhuber's intimate portrayal of a seemingly mundane yet culturally significant act.

While "Ein Guter Schluck" may not be as widely recognized as the works of von Enhuber's contemporaries, it remains an important example of genre painting from the Biedermeier period, offering insights into the social history and artistic tastes of 19th-century Germany. The painting is occasionally displayed in art exhibitions focusing on the Biedermeier era and can be found in the collections of museums that specialize in German art from this period.
