About this work

A group of peasants gathers in a rustic courtyard before a timber-and-brick cottage, listening to an elderly fiddler playing his violin. Two men sit in the foreground, one smoking a long clay pipe and another raising a drinking vessel, while children and two dogs gather nearby and a woman smiles from behind a low wall. The work is Peasants Listening to a Blind Fiddler before a Cottage by Isaac van Ostade, painted in 1646 and held in the Royal Collection.
