The Smokers
Five friends in a smoky corner, one blowing a ring at the ceiling.
What
A group of men crowd a corner table, the one in front exhaling smoke with his eyes rolled up, the others pulling faces around him.
Why
Painted on wood around 1636; The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it (32.100.21), Friedsam bequest, CC0.
Notice
The man at the front is Brouwer himself, by long tradition; the friends around him are painters.
“Artists painted their own nights out as well as other people’s.”
