## Commentary

This is a rare example of a unique composition in Brueghel&#39;s oeuvre, and is entirely of his own devising. Although loosely related to the composition known in seven versions depicting peasants feasting before a long village street with the Swan Inn to the left, the composition of the present picture is known in no other versions.
