Description
This painting was made by the artist Adriaen van de Venne (1580-1662). He painted a lot of farmers and beggars misbehaving themselves, often as caricatures. In 1635 Van de Venne published  “Tafareel van de belacchende werelt”.  This publication counted two hundred pages and was a satire in verse and print on the barbarian behaviour of farmers and beggars. Van de Venne made his work for the high society, by watching primitive scenes they felt educated and civilized. The depictions were also a warning against the consequences of immoral behaviour.
