Peasants' Feast is a 1525 ink by Sebald Beham, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a crowded room with people eating and talking. A big table is piled with food and drinks. One man stands holding a glass, while others sit or lean in. The scene looks busy and lively, with lots of movement. Notice the tiny details in the faces and clothes—each person looks different. The artist used lines to create depth and texture, making the scene feel real. Want to know more? Look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints.
