Peasant Filling A Glass
1689
Cornelis Dusart captures a moment of rustic indulgence in this lively 1689 sketch, showing a peasant carefully pouring a drink from a jug into a glass. Dressed in a colorful mix of a green vest, red sleeves, and striking purple stockings, the figure seems completely absorbed in his task, perhaps a bit too absorbed if the rosy cheeks are any indication! As a student of Adriaen van Ostade, Dusart specialized in these kinds of genre scenes, bringing a humorous and observant eye to the daily lives of common folk in the Dutch Golden Age.
