furnished table at the side, partaking of the good cheer. In
the centre are a couple dancing to the music of a bagpipe
played by a jolly fellow seated on a tub at the left of the pic-
ture, on which side, and near the front, are a loving couple
sitting on a stool together, and a youth embracing a girl;
a jug, together with various culinary utensils, complete this
part of the group. In the opposite side and front are four
boors, one of whom leans on a tub, and the others stand near
a form on which is placed a jug ; and near a gate of entrance
beyond them are groups of peasants. More to the right of
the picture are two rustic cottages, srom one of which a ssag
is ssying; and several merry faces are seen from the windows.
Cottages and various groups of villagers are seen on some
rising ground in the distance. This appears to be one of the
artist’s latter productions.
