About this work

A company of elegant people and peasants, sitting at a table in front of a house under a tree. After the tensions between both classes one sits now in agreement at the table. Left front a lady next to a nurse who gives her child the breast. At table a peasant and a nobleman who shake hands, a violin player and some card players. The Dutch verse describes how both parties have found each other again.
