Fine Art On Your iPhone - Whiskey In A Jar 1869

This iPhone design features vintage fine art - an old man shabbily dressed wearing an old blue jacket and a pair of well worn brown trousers held up with braces over the jacket.

A dark hat sits on his head of gray hair as he studiously fills a green glass bottle with whiskey from a larger darker glass flask. He stands beside a window of a cottage and in front of a fireplace and is clearly preparing to venture outside as he wears a red scarf around his neck to keep warm. A nip (colloquially a small amount, a sip) of whiskey will keep him warm when he is outside in the cold. The location is somewhere in Ireland in 1869. The image is a reproduction of an oil painting by Erskine Nicol. Painted in 1869 it is in the public domain.

The design is on a range of gifts including iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, iPad and a portable loudspeaker, the Doodle by OrigAudio.
