Where to See Drinkers in the yard in Brussels

Adriaen Brouwer captured peasants drinking in an outdoor setting. The rough characters enjoy their ale with earthy gusto. Brouwer specialized in such tavern and peasant scenes, observing low life with sharp humor.

His loose brushwork and psychological insight influenced Rubens and Rembrandt. This work hangs at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.
