About the piece

Painted around 1610 by Georges Lallemand, this striking genre scene illustrates the tactile reality of 17th-century life. The central figure, dressed in a slashed doublet and plumed hat, is captured in a moment of visceral enjoyment, his expression mirrored by the amused companions beside him. The work showcases the artist's mastery of chiaroscuro and character study, making it a powerful addition to a traditional or scholarly collection.
