About the piece
Painted in 1674, this boisterous scene by Dutch master Jan Steen captures the chaotic energy of a village gathering. Known for his moralizing humor and mastery of genre painting, Steen depicts a crowd of expressive characters, musicians, and animals in a complex, multi-layered composition full of life and wit.
