Note
  • Cotelle inv., Mariette excud. Possibly an engraving by Pierre Jean Mariette after an earlier painting by Jean Cotelle (1642-1708).
  • A rustic celebration taking place in an enclosed courtyard: tipsy revelers at a dinner table at right, a man playing a biniou, the bagpipe of the Breton peasant, at left. Two men and a woman perform a circle dance in a small clearing, their backs to each other, their hands linked together by means of handkerchiefs.
  • Six lines of verse below, beginning, "Dans l'agréable jus qui sort de la bouteille/Noyons tous nos chagrins passez."
