The Good Drink is a 1893 oil by Jan Toorop, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
The painting depicts a person holding a glass, with their face partially obscured by the glass. The person is wearing a white head covering and a dark jacket. The background of the painting is dark and muted, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The painting's use of dark colors and visible brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and texture. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume, adds to the overall mood of the painting.
