Țărani în cârciumă is a 1850 by Amedeo Preziosi, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This image is a pencil drawing of four men in a tavern. The men are seated on benches, with one man in the foreground wearing a hat and holding a mug. The other men are behind him, and one is standing in the background. The drawing is done in a simple style, with minimal shading and detail. The drawing appears to be a study or sketch, rather than a finished piece. It may have been created as a practice exercise or as a preliminary work for a larger piece. The artist's use of simple lines and minimal detail gives the drawing a sense of informality and spontaneity. The drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
Born in Malta, Amedeo Preziosi spent years in Romania painting the daily life and landscapes of the 19th century Orient.
