Village Festival

David Teniers

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a lively outdoor scene of a village festival. A large group of people, dressed in 17th-century attire, are gathered in a village street. People are seated and standing, with some dancing. A man and woman dance in the center. A dog is on the ground. A man and woman sit on a bench to the right. A pig and chickens are on the ground near a brick oven. A house with a steeply pitched roof and a tree are on the right. A two-story house with a large beam is on the left. People are in a window and on a balcony. The sky has clouds.
