"De Drinker" (Three Boors Drinking and Smoking in a Spirit House) is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Adriaen Jansz. van Ostade. Created in 1658, this work exemplifies van Ostade's skill in capturing the rustic life of his time, depicting a scene of conviviality and everyday leisure among the lower classes. The painting showcases three peasants, or boors, engaged in drinking and smoking within the humble setting of a spirit house, a term that often referred to an inn or tavern.

Adriaen van Ostade (1610–1685) was renowned for his detailed and often humorous portrayals of peasant life. His works are characterized by their lively and realistic representation of the Dutch peasantry, with an emphasis on the textures of materials and the effects of light. "De Drinker" is no exception, as it displays van Ostade's adept use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey the personalities and interactions of his subjects through expressive facial features and body language.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is noted for its warm palette and the intricate depiction of the figures' rustic attire and the interior of the spirit house. The composition invites viewers into the scene, offering a glimpse into the social customs and daily life of 17th-century Dutch society. "De Drinker" is a valuable historical document as well as a work of art, providing insight into the social dynamics and cultural practices of the time.

As a significant work in the oeuvre of Adriaen van Ostade, "De Drinker" has been studied for its artistic merit as well as its sociological implications. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the genre of tavern scenes, a popular subject in Dutch genre painting, and continues to be appreciated for its narrative quality and technical finesse.

"De Drinker" remains an important example of Adriaen van Ostade's mastery of genre painting and is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of 17th-century Dutch peasant life. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of genre scenes in art history and the universal human themes they encapsulate.
