The Egg Dance, 1552

Pieter Aertsen, c 1508-1575

Oil on panel

On the right, in this brothel, a young man does an egg dance to the music of a
bagpiper. While dancing he had to roll an egg within a chalk circle - without
it breaking - and to cover it with a wooden bowl. Rijksmuseum

I don't believe this is a brothel.
