"The King drinks" was the traditional acclamation calling on the king or queen of the bean to empty his glass, at the feast of the Epiphany. This jovial and festive theme was particularly popular in Flanders in the seventeenth century, which resulted in diversions. "Smokers", also called "The Drinking Song" is one of them. Sitting on a stool, the central character raises his hand a smoking pipe and the other a beer. Its open wide mouth indicates he sings loudly. If the context of this scene is not the king's celebration, drinking and singing them are present. The influence of Adriaen Brouwer ( "Smokers", New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art) is evident here as in the composition of the scene, as in the treatment of the character of the second plane, brushed faster. David Teniers II has borrowed the figure of smoking to the gaping mouth he reused repeatedly. The facial deformity due to alcohol, tobacco and the song adds to the picturesque to the scene and gives it the moralizing and comic aspects that makes the fortune of the table, of which there are many versions, replicas and copies ( David Teniers II, "Scene at an Inn", Prague, National Gallery).

The painting was in the collection of Dutuit brothers. In 1902, he entered the Petit Palais museum thanks to the legacy of Augustus Dutuit in favor of the City of Paris.
