Oil on panel
The picture shows the arrival of Prince Maurice and his younger brother, Frederick Henry,
in a carriage drawn by 6 grey horses to underscore the contrast between the elegant conduct
of Hague courtiers and the boorish manners of the peasants. The artist captures the
atmosphere of the fair with vignettes of a singer and a woman selling fruit and vegetables,
whose purse is being picked.
