This is a picture of bright colours and brilliant colour contrasts, with people in boisterous motion almost to the very edges. Bruegel has painted a company full of scarcely controlled vitality, adding many realistic details: the bridal crown has been affixed to a cloth in the background, in front of which money is being collected on a table, while ditches have been dug out further to the left, on the edges of which the company will sit to eat.
