Twelve peasants in a rustic interior with a man looking through a window at upper right 1635 - 1675

This etching by Jacques Dassonville, dated 1635 - 1675, depicts a lively scene of twelve peasants gathered in a rustic interior. The composition is crowded, with figures jostling for space around a table and within the confines of the room. The artist's detailed depiction of the figures' clothing, expressions, and gestures conveys a sense of everyday life and the social interactions of the time. The scene's focus on the simple lives of ordinary people is characteristic of Dutch genre painting, highlighting the beauty and significance of everyday moments.
