About the piece

Painted in 1627 by Dirck Hals, this masterpiece of the 'merry company' genre depicts the refined leisure of the 17th-century elite. The scene is filled with fashionable figures engaged in conversation, music-making, and dining before a stately manor, all rendered with the artist's characteristic attention to textile, lace, and atmospheric light.
