The etching captures the festive atmosphere, with a maypole and a group of people dancing in the foreground, and a church and other buildings in the background. Koning's meticulous detail showcases the architecture and the diverse figures in the scene. The piece provides valuable insights into Dutch history and the cultural context of the Revolution.
