Boors Carousing is a 1720 oil by Egbert van Heemskerck II, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Drinking, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a group of men sitting around a table, drinking and smoking. They are dressed in casual, old-fashioned clothing and hats. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow coming from the table. One of the men is holding a pipe, while another is raising a glass in a toast. The atmosphere seems lively and convivial, with the men enjoying each other's company. The painting's use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a cozy and intimate feel.
