More about this artwork

"Dutch Schnapps" by Julian Alden Weir, dated from 1885 to 1893, offers a captivating glimpse into the intimacy of daily objects through the artist's eyes. This etching portrays a richly textured scene centered around a bulbous schnapps bottle, poised dramatically against a dark, shadowed background. The bottle, curvaceous and detailed, catches light on its embossed surface, suggesting a moment frozen in time. Accompanying the bottle are a slender-stemmed glass and a bowl, both rendered with fine, delicate lines, contrasting with the robust form of the bottle. The composition, with stark lighting and strategic placement of objects, draws viewers into a deeper contemplation of mundane items, elevating them beyond their ordinary utility into subjects worthy of artistic admiration.

Julian Alden Weir was an American impressionist painter and member of the Cos Cob Art Colony near Greenwich, Connecticut. Weir was also one of the founding members of "The Ten", a loosely allied group of American artists dissatisfied with professional art organizations, who banded together in 1898 to exhibit their works as a stylistically unified group.

Weir was born on August 30, 1852, the second to last of sixteen children, and raised in West Point, New York. His father was painter Robert Walter Weir, a professor of drawing at the Military Academy at West Point who taught such artists as James Abbott McNeill Whistler. His older brother, John Ferguson Weir, also became a well-known landscape artist who painted in the styles of the Hudson River and Barbizon schools. He was professor of painting and design at Yale University from 1869, starting the first academic art program on an American campus.
