A very cheerful-faced and plump man with composition head with highly characterized features, very chubby double chin and dimpled cheeks, brown glass eyes, red nose and cheeks, brunette hair, and very plump composition torso and legs is wearing tightly fitted short leather pants, silk shirt, green velvet jacket, cape, brown plush brimmed hat, fancy stockings, heeled shoes, and is standing on an ebony black base with "tiled" floor alongside a wooden cabinet and a basket of bread and roast chicken. In his hand he holds a beer stein. Movements: he lifts the stein to his mouth as though to drink, he takes four drinks and then leans his head backward and forward, sways his entire body side to side and backward and forward, and finally taps his stomach in a satisfied manner and, "burps". Although the happy drunkard was a popular theme in the Vichy repertoire, the subject more often, featured lean dapper French men seated on a park bench imbibing wine or French chefs drinking the cooking wine. This subject, with its stereotyped chubby German beer-drinker, is highly unusual, its rarity made more appealing by the superb artistry of the character face. France, circa 1890. 22" (56 cm). Six movements. Two tunes.
