The painting depicts a monk in a long, beige robe with a hood, holding a glass of wine in his right hand. He is standing in front of a large wooden barrel with a red label that reads "1811" in white letters. The monk's left hand is resting on the barrel, and he has a key hanging from his belt. The monk appears to be testing the wine, as indicated by the title of the painting. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to focus attention on the monk and the barrel. This painting is an example of the work of Antonio Salvador Casanova y Estorach, who was a Spanish painter.
