A Merry Company is a 1650 oil by Richard Brakenburgh, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Party, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting shows a lively gathering of people in a room. They are all dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and some are sitting at a table while others are standing around. There are plates, cups, and other objects scattered around the room. The atmosphere in the painting seems to be one of joy and celebration. The people are all smiling and laughing, and some are even playing musical instruments. The room is dimly lit, but the warm glow of the candles and the fire in the fireplace adds to the cozy atmosphere.
