About the piece
Painted in 1615 by Esaias van de Velde, this Dutch Golden Age masterpiece captures the refined leisure of 'elegant company.' Figures in elaborate lace collars and plumed hats dine outdoors, their vibrant costumes contrasting against the deep, earthy tones of the overhanging foliage and the distant, sunlit landscape.
