"The smokers", 1636 Adriaen Brouwer (1606-1638) Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York, USA
This scene of conviviality of friends, of smoking and imbibing beer, illustrates how alcohol is a "social lubricant", which inhibits inhibitions, thus stimulates dialogues during festivities. Portrayed are the artist with his friend painters Jan Davidsz (filling his pipe) and Jan Corsiers (drinking beer).
