Deutsche Grafik der Dürerzeit, vers 1512–1515

This is a painting of a group of costumed figures participating in a festive event. The scene is lively with numerous figures dressed in similar, colorful costumes featuring red, green, and white stripes. Some wear masks or headdresses with red crowns. A central pair of figures sits in a position of prominence. To the left, there is a tent, and outside stands a small group of figures in vibrant garments. The background features grassy areas and a red wall with an arched entryway, indicating an outdoor setting, possibly in a fortress or castle grounds. The colors are bright and flat.
