About this work
This is the largest and most spectacular print after a design by Vinckboons ever made. A bird’s eye view with scores of little figures affords a sample of everything that happens at such a fair. The crowd dances, gorges, fights, and gapes at the market stands and a farcical play. Elegantly clad city people observe the crowd with an air of slight disdain.
