Wedding Dance

This painting was most likely executed by a follower of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The early seventeenth-century biographer Carel van Mander recorded that the elder Bruegel would visit village fairs in disguise to observe peasant behavior and record them in works like this, and specifically describes watercolor paintings of peasant weddings.
