Peasants Merry-Making is a 1724 oil by Andrea Locatelli, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a lively outdoor scene with a group of people gathered around a tree. They're dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and some are sitting on the ground while others stand or lean against the tree. The atmosphere looks relaxed and joyful, with some people laughing or chatting with each other. In the background, there's a hazy landscape with hills and trees, which adds to the sense of a casual outdoor gathering. The overall mood of the painting is one of carefree enjoyment, with the people seemingly lost in their own little world.
