Described as ‘damaged’ even in the time of George IV (and valued at a mere twenty guineas), this painting does not seem to be of sufficient quality to be an original by Ostade. A peasant is seen leaning on a window ledge, wearing a felt hat and a dark shirt and holding a glass in his right hand; behind him a second figure appears in an interior.
