The Drinker, Back View is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a man from behind, walking to the right. He wears a large hat, a long coat, and boots. He carries a large jug on his back. The man's posture suggests he is walking quickly, with his right leg lifted off the ground. His clothing and hat are detailed, with folds and creases visible. The image is an etching, with fine lines and shading creating depth and texture. The artist's use of light and shadow adds to the sense of movement and energy.

Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
