The work shows a bustling public square filled with people and animals engaged in various activities such as shopping, eating, and watching performances. The detailed depiction of everyday life in a rural setting reflects the artist's interest in genre painting, a popular style in 19th century Europe. This lithograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the social life and customs of the time.
