The plastic and strongly naturalistic rendering are two qualities that characterize this splendid sculpture, approaching the subjects and themes of the Neapolitan school. The low subject, an old man who drinks, is taken from everyday life and portrayed in all its defects, not at all idealized, but even accentuated in their rawness: he is an now old man, no more teeth, deeply marked by wrinkles, but he holds firmly his source of joy, a flask of wine.
