Description
A seventeenth-century genre scene unfolds, portraying a group of spirited characters engaged in merry activities. On the left, a woman with a pewter jug and glass seems to be serving a beverage, while beside her, a man in a broad-brimmed hat gleefully hands over a plucked chicken to a seated figure. This central figure appears inebriated, slumped over steps, oblivious to a spaniel-type dog next to him and the visual commotion of scattered foodstuffs and kitchenware at his feet.
