The work is accompanied by a photo certificate from Professor Giovanni Gentile, an art expert at the Court of Milan, who attributes the work to Pieter Jacobsz Van Laer (1599–1642), a Flemish painter of village scenes. The pleasant scene presented here depicts a couple of villagers dancing on the edge of the village, surrounded by other figures of commoners and travellers in transit, who observe this unusual spectacle. The painting was restored and relined in the late 19th century. It is presented in an early 20th-century frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
