"The King Drinks" is a painting by the British artist Briton Rivière (1840–1920), who was known for his animal paintings and historical or literary scenes. Created in 1881, this artwork exemplifies Rivière's skill in combining human and animal subjects to create a narrative scene rich in detail and character.

The painting depicts a scene from the Middle Ages, where a king, surrounded by his courtiers and jesters, is being toasted by his subjects during a festive celebration. The focal point of the composition is the king himself, who raises his cup in response to the toast. Rivière's attention to detail is evident in the sumptuous costumes, the intricate patterns on the tapestries, and the realistic portrayal of the figures' expressions and the animals present in the scene.

Briton Rivière was an academically trained artist who became a member of the Royal Academy. His work often reflects a Victorian fascination with chivalry, history, and the natural world, and "The King Drinks" is a prime example of this interest. The painting is celebrated for its historical accuracy in terms of costume and setting, as well as its narrative quality, which invites viewers to contemplate the story behind the celebration.

"The King Drinks" has been exhibited in various art galleries and has been part of both private and public collections. As a work of art from the late Victorian period, it provides insight into the era's aesthetic preferences and cultural fascinations.
