Description: | Rowdy tavern scene depicting groups of peasants seated around wooden benches, drinking. In the background to the right, a number of drunken men and women are sprawled around a long table, and to the left, men and women sit together laughing and drinking. In the foreground, there are three figures; a man to the left, slumped in a chair holding a jug, a man in the centre, reclining on a wooden bench, and to the far right, a woman seated on the ground hitching up her skirt. There is a large wooden barrel in the bottom left corner and about the room, fallen stools, jugs and stoneware. The background is dark with wooden beams and heavy drapes on the wall; a ladder leans against the wall in the centre, and on the far right, the back of a hunched man is visible.
