The King Drinks is a 1638 oil by Jacob Jordaens, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting is a lively scene of a large group of people gathered around a table, with a king at the center. The king is wearing a white robe and a crown, and he is holding a glass in his right hand. The people around him are dressed in various clothing, with some wearing hats and others holding glasses or other objects. The table is filled with food and drink, and there are several dogs and a cat present in the scene. The atmosphere appears to be one of celebration and revelry, with the king and his companions enjoying themselves.
