Beer In Art #107: Old Man With A Glass Of Beer

December 19, 2010 By Jay Brooks

This week’s work of art is an original oil painting done sometime between the 1920s and 40s. Known only as “Beer Company Oil Painting.” The painting is 28″ x 23″ and can be yours, from Inkwell, for only $2,250.

It’s a pretty cool painting, but it’s a shame we don’t know more about it, especially what brewery may have commissioned it. I picked it today because the old man is wearing distinctive red and green Christmas colors and has a vaguely Santa look to him, what with the white hair and the pipe. But that hat has to go, it makes Santa look like a cab driver.
