A smiling man in a hat sits at a table with a jug, building, and trees.
This oval-shaped, black and white painting depicts a man seated outdoors, smiling, with a jug on a table beside him. The man, positioned slightly left of center, wears a dark, wide-brimmed hat that casts a shadow over his eyes. His face is turned towards the right and angled downwards, revealing a wide grin with visible teeth and wrinkles around his eyes. Messy, dark hair protrudes from under his hat. His body is clad in a dark jacket, with a lighter-colored shirt visible at his collar and cuffs. His hands are clasped together, holding a small, dark object, possibly a pipe or a tool, over the table. To the right of the man, a sturdy, round-bellied jug with a narrow neck sits on a simple wooden table or ledge. The table extends horizontally across the lower-middle portion of the painting. In the background, behind the man and the table, a landscape is visible. On the far right, a large, dark tree trunk rises vertically. Towards the center-right, a building with a pointed roof and a smaller spire is visible, suggesting a church or a large house. The left side of the background shows a more open area with faint indications of trees and a cloudy sky.
