文森特·梵高在阿尔勒附近小镇圣莱美的圣保罗庇护所工作期间，制作了许多他欣赏的艺术家作品的复制品，使他不必创作原创作品，而可以专心于翻译。为了这张照片，梵高复制了一幅出自霍诺雷·道米尔的《饮酒者》的木版画，这是对人类四个年龄段的模仿。夸张的人物类型抓住了达米耶特有的幽默感，传达了他对酗酒的恐惧的悲伤信息。略带绿色的调色很可能是对臭名昭著的酒精饮料苦艾酒的一种暗示。
During his time in the Asylum of Saint-Paul in Saint-Rémy, a small town near Arles, Vincent van Gogh made a number of copies of the work of artists he admired, which freed him from having to produce original compositions and allowed him to concentrate instead on interpretation. For this image, Van Gogh copied a wood engraving from Honoré Daumier’s Drinkers, a parody on the four ages of man. The exaggerated figure types capture Daumier’s characteristic humor and convey his sad message about the horrors of alcoholism. The greenish palette may well be an allusion to the notorious alcoholic drink absinthe.
