About this work
In the foreground, several young couples point to an old scholar (preacher?) who is criticizing their behavior from a window. In the hands of the scholar is a book. The young people laugh at him. On the left in the foreground, a young couple sits next to a bush with thistles (symbol of their love). In front of them lies an empty jug. In the background, young people dance around a church.
