| Description |  |
Saint-Aubin is remembered primarily as a draftsman who was fascinated with the daily life of Paris. Here, however, he turned away from the city to celebrate country life. At least fifty meticulously observed figures are shown dancing, drinking, playing music, and enjoying the festivities. The novelty of the pastoral subject may have inspired Saint-Aubin to create his most complex composition.
