Detailed Description
A large outdoor gathering of approximately eighteen adults and children is set against a backdrop of timber-framed buildings and a cloudy sky. On the left, an adult in a dark hat and light-colored tunic stands with a staff, accompanied by a dark dog. Beyond them, a distant landscape with a fence and trees is visible under a light-colored sky with dramatic grey clouds. The central and right portions of the scene are dominated by a group of people. Several individuals are seated around a white-covered table laden with food, including red lobsters or crabs, bread, and other dishes. An adult in a dark hat and light tunic plays a stringed instrument near the table. Another seated adult holds a small child. A small child in a white dress sits on the ground in front of the table, near a wooden tub containing a white pitcher. The people wear dark coats, white collars or ruffs, and various hats. Some women wear long dresses in white, red, or dark colors. Behind the group, several large, light-brown timber-framed buildings with dark roofs rise, one with a person looking out of an upper window. On the far right, two more figures stand near the entrance of a building. The ground is a mix of light brown and green, suggesting a path or courtyard.
