- Physical Description
- A group of figures are seen kneeling at the lower left in preparation of eating an al fresco meal. The figures consist of two women, two men, and a child, accompanied by a dog, curled up at the bottom right and two lambs or sheep at the right side. Two standing men and a cow are visible, as is the landscape behind the figures that include trees and a house.
- Throughout, the work is unified by the consistent fluid and dense pen strokes that describe the figures and animals as well as the distant landscape and sky.
- Subject Matter
- Whether a studio product or remembered from life, a quick sketch as this could be employed in either a genre scene or incorporated into a biblical subject. The interest in rough peasant life is celebrated in this drawing
