of a fiddle and a bass-viol; the former instrument is played
by a man mounted on a tub, in the centre. On the left is a
party of twelve persons, round a table, feasting ; among them
is a female, seated at the corner; a boor is standing behind
her, with his arms round her neck ; near them is a little girl,
by the side of a stool; beyond these is a very large company
at a table, which extends the whole width of the court. About
the centre, and close to the front, is a couple sitting on a form
together; two peasants standing near them. The Seigneur
du Village is seen on the right, with two females and many
villagers near him. Three casks of liquor, and a basket of
bread on the top of them, are close to the front.

parchments, with seals; and upon a little cabinet, placed on
the table, are an hour-glass, a bag, a bottle, and a book. A
man, at a little window above, is observing all that passes.
This is a highly-finished and very richly-coloured picture.
