Le Garcon cabaretier is a 1740 ink by Charles-Nicolas Cochin I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a young man in a white apron holding a large sack. Around him are stacks of metal pots, a pitcher, and a vase. The background looks like a dim workshop or kitchen. The title *Le Garçon cabartier* means "the young cabaret boy," suggesting he works with food or drink. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture.
