Detailed Description
An outdoor gathering takes place in front of a building under a light grey sky. A large group of people occupies the foreground and midground, with a building on the left, a large tree in the center-right, and rolling hills in the background. On the left, a two-story, brown-walled building with a dark, sloped roof stands. Smoke rises from a chimney on its left side. A large, gnarled tree trunk with some green foliage grows next to the building, its branches extending over the roof. Below the building, a crowd of people is gathered. Some are seated on the ground or on a low wooden bench. A man in a dark hat and red cloak plays a wind instrument. A couple sits closely, the woman in a white head covering and red skirt, the man in a blue jacket. A small dog is near them. In the center-right, a group of men are actively dancing or gesturing, some with their arms raised. One man in a blue jacket and light-colored breeches appears to be mid-step. Another man in a red jacket sits on a low wooden bench, watching. Several barrels are on the ground. Further to the right, a man on a donkey faces away from the central group, holding a stick. Another man walks beside the donkey. The ground is a muted brown. The clothing features earthy colors, including browns, greens, muted reds, and blues.
